Actually, you can have multiple devd.pipe consumers.  That's the whole
point of the devd.pipe: to allow as many people as desire the stream
of events from the kernel.  Making devctl clonable in the kernel is
more of a pita because you have one producer and many readers and all
the assoicated bookkeeping.
