Yes. Exactly. I've also noticed that if we get rid of this, we can
also get rid of a couple of members of cdevsw and cdev. Right now it
has to keep track of a couple of lists here and there that are
actually only needed when using clonelists.

If you get rid of clonelists, you'll end up with a system where the
only relationship between cdevsws and devs is the pointer in the cdev
to the cdevsw.
