FreeBSD has been using a kernel devfs (and loving it, in my opinion)
since 5.x.  Dynamically assigning majors is somewhat more recent, but
applies to nearly all drivers.

In reference to the OP: I've been using r300 (Radeon 9600, specifically)
on FreeBSD-current since I merged the bits to Mesa CVS.  Not sure what's
going on there.
