Arg, that's a bit broken... things shouldn't really be quite like that.

DevFS works fine in dom0 but breaks things within domUs... I don't know 
quite if it b0rks on the new xvd* devices, but certainly for hd* and sd* it 
will not work. Hmmm.
Given DevFS is deprecated, do we really need it in the default config?

Cheers,
Mark
