There is a fundamental issue.  With a PPS, there really are two sources of 
time.  Internally, ntpd needs two different handles so you can see both sets 
of info on ntpq -peers and clockstats.

Normally, each PPS has an associated serial stream.  It would be good if 
there were a clean way to specify that rather than using the prefer kludge.

Is there a udev equivalent on other OSes?

I don't think it is necessary.  A boot time script can setup symbolic links.
