Eeek, no, let's never try to parse strings like this and "figure out"
what major/minor number it is.  That's madness and will break if we ever
make all char majors dynamic (there's a thread on lkml about that.)

Why would the kernel need to know major/minor?  Is it going to open a
device node?  If so, again, crazy stuff, that's not good...

thanks,
