[PATCH][2.6.0-test3] i386 msr.c devfs support 1/2

From: Andrey Borzenkov
Date: Sun Aug 10 2003 - 04:21:40 EST


Please let me know if default permissions (644) are not appropriate. Tested on
2-way SMP kernel single CPU system; it correctly rejects access to
no-existing CPU.

/dev/cpu/N is not removed on module unload. It is impossible to cleanly
unregister directories shared by independent drivers given current devfs
implementation (no actual refcounting)
