[PATCH] devfs: remove devfs from Kconfig preventing it from being built
Here's a much smaller patch to simply disable devfs from the build. If
this goes well, and there are no complaints for a few weeks, I'll resend
my big "devfs-die-die-die" series of patches that rip the whole thing
out of the kernel tree.
