>Description:
	skeleton MAKEDEV.local needs arguments to create device,
but MAKEDEV call it with no arguments. So it may confuse some
newbie super users.

>How-To-Repeat:
Add some local device definition to MAKEDEV.local and
try MAKEDEV all.

>Fix:
I don't know which script should be changed, but
for example, following patch makes them consistent.
