[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.

744config DEVFS_FS
745 bool "/dev file system support (OBSOLETE)"
746 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
747 help
748 This is support for devfs, a virtual file system (like /proc) which
749 provides the file system interface to device drivers, normally found
750 in /dev. Devfs does not depend on major and minor number
751 allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then
752 appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does
753 not have to create character and block special device files in the
754 /dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore.
755
756 This is work in progress. If you want to use this, you *must* read
757 the material in <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/>, especially
758 the file README there.
759
760 Note that devfs no longer manages /dev/pts! If you are using UNIX98
761 ptys, you will also need to mount the /dev/pts filesystem (devpts).
762
763 Note that devfs has been obsoleted by udev,
764 <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/>.
765 It has been stripped down to a bare minimum and is only provided for
766 legacy installations that use its naming scheme which is
767 unfortunately different from the names normal Linux installations
768 use.

772config DEVFS_MOUNT
773 bool "Automatically mount at boot"
774 depends on DEVFS_FS
775 help
776 This option appears if you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS enabled. Setting
777 this to 'Y' will make the kernel automatically mount devfs onto /dev
778 when the system is booted, before the init thread is started.
779 You can override this with the "devfs=nomount" boot option.
780
781 If unsure, say N.
782
783config DEVFS_DEBUG
784 bool "Debug devfs"
785 depends on DEVFS_FS
786 help
787 If you say Y here, then the /dev file system code will generate
788 debugging messages. See the file
789 <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/boot-options> for more
790 details.
