What's the right way to create permanent (recreated at udev start)
device files for nvram and thinkpad/*? The documentation seems to
imply that I need to run a script at every boot that creates the
apropriate device entries, but I thought I'd ask in case someone knows
a better way or I'm missing something.

Kernel 2.6.5, udev v024 on Debian unstable.

Thanks,

Antony
