Xen devel - Sep 2005 - [PATCH] Change references to /dev/xen/evtchn to /dev/evtchn

Change all references to /dev/xen/evtchn to /dev/evtchn as this is where 
udev
creates the device entry.  /dev/xen was the location that we used under
devfs.  In some of the tools, we were creating /dev/xen/evtchn if it did not
already exist.  We really should not do that.

We currently use the reserved major/minor range.  Strictly, this is not 
right
as we may conflict with other software.  Ideally, we should use random
major/minor numbers and optionally take the major/minor number as a module
parameter.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

It''d be good to keep /dev/xen/evtchn. Perhaps we can make udev create 
the device node there instead of /dev/evtchn? Also changes less 
code....
