To add a bit... generally I have just added an entry to one of the
"major" files in sys/conf. However, I have noticed that in order for
the module to be able to use it, after the major file edit, I had to
rebuild the kernel as well. I have never been 100% sure that was proper
behavior, but it seems to be the case. That is, just editing the major
file and building or rebuilding the module has not been enough.
