Hi!

Hum, sending mails after midnight is prone for typos... I meant 2.4.15
not 14...

If you have a closer look, you'll realize that the -pre7+ version only
calls init_special_inode if there is no fileops structure in dir entry.
alsa sets this entry always, resulting in wrong chardev entries in the
/proc hierarchy
