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. Suggested by: rwatson [1] (name) Submitted by: ed [2] Discussed with: markm, ed, rwatson, kib (weeks ago) Reviewed by: rwatson, brueffer (prev. version) PR: kern/68961 MFC after: 6 weeks
