let me get it straight. You are talking about software that would be
        a) device-specific,
        b) Linux-only,
        c) working with devices that do not exist in 2.4.

Would you mind demonstrating such wonder? Old devices are still there,
AFAICS. Ext2 (reiserfs, devfs, abortion-of-your-choice-fs) still has
the ability to create device nodes for them.
