I think the only interesting objection to this comes in the event that
we're interested in events on objects not appearing in devfs.  If we think
devd is going to learn about routing sockets, that eliminates the one main
source of discomfort I have with devd today -- I don't want devd to key
network actions to things in /dev/net, I want it to key them to events
coming from the network subsystem.
