HMM selftests use an in-kernel pseudo device to emulate device private
memory. The pseudo device registers a major device range for two pseudo
device instances. User space has a script that reads /proc/devices in
order to find the assigned major number, and sends that to mknod(1),
once for each node.

This duplicates a fair amount of boilerplate that misc device can do
instead.

Change this to use misc device, which makes the device node names appear
for us. This also enables udev-like processing if desired.

Delete the /proc/devices parsing from the user-space test script, now
that it is unnecessary.

v2:
- Cleanups per review comments from John Hubbard
- Added Tested-by and Ccs

The three lines above, starting with "v2:", belong after the "---". That
way, they are not included in the commit log. That's the convention.

I think Andrew can fix it up for you, no need to spin a new patch for
that.

Anyway, this looks good now, so please feel free to add:
