         Designers of embedded systems may wish to say N here to conserve space.
 
-config DEVFS_FS
-        bool "/dev file system support (OBSOLETE)"
-        depends on EXPERIMENTAL
-        help
-          This is support for devfs, a virtual file system (like /proc) which
-          provides the file system interface to device drivers, normally found
-          in /dev. Devfs does not depend on major and minor number
-          allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then
-          appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does
-          not have to create character and block special device files in the
-          /dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore.
-
-          This is work in progress. If you want to use this, you *must* read
-          the material in <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/>, especially
-          the file README there.
-
-          Note that devfs no longer manages /dev/pts!  If you are using UNIX98
-          ptys, you will also need to mount the /dev/pts filesystem (devpts).
-
-          Note that devfs has been obsoleted by udev,
-          <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/>.
-          It has been stripped down to a bare minimum and is only provided for
-          legacy installations that use its naming scheme which is
-          unfortunately different from the names normal Linux installations
-          use.
-
-          If unsure, say N.

-config DEVFS_MOUNT
-        bool "Automatically mount at boot"
-        depends on DEVFS_FS
-        help
-          This option appears if you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS enabled. Setting
-          this to 'Y' will make the kernel automatically mount devfs onto /dev
-          when the system is booted, before the init thread is started.
-          You can override this with the "devfs=nomount" boot option.
-
-          If unsure, say N.
-
-config DEVFS_DEBUG
-        bool "Debug devfs"
-        depends on DEVFS_FS
-        help
-          If you say Y here, then the /dev file system code will generate
-          debugging messages. See the file
-          <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/boot-options> for more
-          details.
