[PATCH] devfs: remove devfs from Kconfig preventing it from being built

Browse Source 
Here's a much smaller patch to simply disable devfs from the build.  If
this goes well, and there are no complaints for a few weeks, I'll resend
my big "devfs-die-die-die" series of patches that rip the whole thing
out of the kernel tree.

Designers of embedded systems may wish to say N here to conserve space.
config DEVFS_FS
bool "/dev file system support (OBSOLETE)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL
help
This is support for devfs, a virtual file system (like /proc) which
provides the file system interface to device drivers, normally found
in /dev. Devfs does not depend on major and minor number
allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then
appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does
not have to create character and block special device files in the
/dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore.
This is work in progress. If you want to use this, you *must* read
the material in <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/>, especially
the file README there.
Note that devfs no longer manages /dev/pts! If you are using UNIX98
ptys, you will also need to mount the /dev/pts filesystem (devpts).
Note that devfs has been obsoleted by udev,
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/>.
It has been stripped down to a bare minimum and is only provided for
legacy installations that use its naming scheme which is
unfortunately different from the names normal Linux installations
use.
If unsure, say N.
config DEVFS_MOUNT
bool "Automatically mount at boot"
depends on DEVFS_FS
help
This option appears if you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS enabled. Setting
this to 'Y' will make the kernel automatically mount devfs onto /dev
when the system is booted, before the init thread is started.
You can override this with the "devfs=nomount" boot option.
If unsure, say N.
config DEVFS_DEBUG
bool "Debug devfs"
depends on DEVFS_FS
help
If you say Y here, then the /dev file system code will generate
debugging messages. See the file
<file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/boot-options> for more
details.
If unsure, say N.
