    Not at all.

    $ cat /proc/cmdline
    root=/dev/hda1 video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x8
    $ gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep DEVFS
    CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
    CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y
    # CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is not set

    Yes, I should switch to udev, but I don't have time to mess around
    with that stuff right now, and the machine works the way it is.
