My problem was this:
-for the 10th + snp devices, I had to create it by hand with mknod;
- I had an old version of watch, the one that comes with 4.6-REL does have
the option of specifying the snoop device.

Only weirdness I see is that the tty must be open before executing watch on
it, else there's an error. But that's not a big deal.

Thanks for directing me to the right place.
