Re: device-major question

[SODA Noriyuki <soda%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

There are two points which need to be clarified.

1) The conf/majors files contains the following comment:
	# Majors 160-255 are used for the MI drivers.
   This "255" has to be changed, because the majors.storage file is
   already using 332.

   What is the new limit for MI drivers?  1023?

2) I think the majors.{ws,usb,std,tty,storage} files are only used
   for the device drivers which were made before the sys/conf/majors
   file was introduced.  And new MI devices should go to sys/conf/majors
   instead of majors.{ws,usb,std,tty,storage} even if the device
   is a ws/usb/std/tty/storage device.

   Is this right?

   If so, How about changing the following comments in sys/conf/majors
	# 210-219 reserved for MI ws devices
	# 220-239 reserved for MI usb devices
	# 240-259 reserved for MI "std" devices
	# 260-269 reserved for MI tty devices
	# 310-339 reserved for MI storage devices
   to
	# 210-219 reserved for old MI ws devices
	# 220-239 reserved for old MI usb devices
	# 240-259 reserved for old MI "std" devices
	# 260-269 reserved for old MI tty devices
	# 310-339 reserved for old MI storage devices
	# NOTE: new MI devices should go to this file instead of above

P.S.
I added Matt to the "To:" field, because he made the majors.* files.
