Also note that the default for USE_DEVFS was (and is) 1, so the lack

the default IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLE be blank in order to restore the
previous default of no /dev in the rootfs.
At present you get a somewhat arbitrary-seeming smattering of devices
from meta/files/device_table-minimal.txt, including such anachronisms
as /dev/ttySA0 and /dev/apm_bios. It's hard to imagine that anybody
actually wants this stuff in their rootfs in this day and age.
Can we kill apmd at the same time? Please? :)
Isn't this still used on some ARM and MIPS targets? (they emulate apm for basic
power management.)
If that's finally gone away -- I'd love to finally kill apmd and related.
