>Description:
Creating bpfa (to bbff) confuses MAKEDEV.  They will all get minor set
to zero (like bpf0).  The attached fix will allow one to follow the
conventional naming using hex digits.

This affects the other devices in the same switch of the case statement,
i.e. tun, mms, lms, pms and joy.
>How-To-Repeat:
