And just to calm down anybody who's getting nervous now, this is not
happening quite yet :-)

After the next branch of -current, be it before/after 5.0-R or
5.1-R, and provided nothing terminal pops up in the meantime: I
will commit the following changes:

DEVFS:
        1. DEVFS will become standard (ie: no disabling option).
        2. Remove cdevsw_add() and cdevsw_remove() and makedev().
        3. major/minors will be dynamically assigned.

GEOM:
        1. GEOM will become standard (ie: no disabling options).
        2. Legacy code will be removed.
