lindev(4) [1] is supposed to be a collection of linux-specific pseudo

devices that we also support, just not by default (thus only LINT or
module builds by default).

While currently there is only "/dev/full" [2], we are planning to see more
in the future.  We may decide to change the module/dependency logic in the
future should the list grow too long.

This is not part of linux.ko as also non-linux binaries like kFreeBSD
userland or ports can make use of this as well.
