(This patch is automatically generated.)

This patch removes the static major device number assignments from
a boatload of device drivers in order to free up some major numbers
which can be assigned dynamically.

I have excluded from this patch:
        .../mem.c
        contrib
        dev/cx (doesn't compile when my script has chewed on it)
        dev/sound (ditto)
        any device which my script didn't recognize.

I'm currently running this patch through a "make universe" and plan
on committing it next saturday (21/2).

If there are drivers which should be excluded from this patch,
please send me an email before thursday and please explain why.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
