...and here is a patch to devfsify mtdchar. I even got a chance to test it, 
and the previous patch, and it all seems to work.

This is terribly terribly basic, as three-quarters of an hour ago I knew 
nothing about devfs. It creates entries for all fifteen possible devices, 
regardless of whether they exist or not. Interestingly, on my system, 0-5 
work, despite the fact that /proc/mtd claims that only 0-2 exist. Accessing 
the others returns a normal and harmless "No such device" error.

Block devices appear to be just as easy, but as it's 19:10 here in the UK and 
I'm still at work I'll do it tomorrow. What should I call it? /dev/mtd/b%d? 
/dev/mtd/block/%d? /dev/mtdblock/%d? /dev/mtd/fnord/%d?
