Can you point to example code?
Actually, it looks like Vinum is caching the dev_t's, but it's not always using them to get back to the dev_t--sometimes it's invoking makedev() instead. However, this appears to happen only in the vinumrevive.c code, so I'm not sure if that's a property of the cached reference being unavailable -- it looks like it should be available in that context though. I.e., using sd->dev instead of VINUM_SD() -- it looks like there is a valid (struct sd *) reference there to follow, so you can get to the dev_t without doing a makedev().
