Maybe I didn't quote enough. The problem being discussed was that if you
had devfs mounted twice you want a way to tell the system to not put new
devices in a chrooted devfs. I was suggesting a 'nocreate' option in the
devfs that effectively closes it. So when you create a chrooted filesystem
you can remove some devices you don't like, create a few you think might
turn up later that you do like and then 'close' the filesystem.
