Some of the other possibilities would be /# (a bit of backwards
compatibility) or /local (for 'local' devices/drivers).  The (additional)
advantages would be one less hack ... er, excuse me syntactic
escape/special case, more uniformity, etc. :-) You could even
conceivably bind /cpu/dri/xxx to /dev/xxx to access cpu server's drivers?
