I'm totally "don't-care" on the semantics of any and all of these,
my patch is just an attempt to evict makedev() from the tree.  If you
have a better idea how to do this, by all means go for it.

It has also been pointed out that my subsequent if_tap.c patch would
likely break the way people expect the "vmnet" device to work so I
have already canned that.
