Actually dropping the warnings won't do anything at all because we just
don't use devfs with 2.6.  If we detect that DEVFS is enabled we simply
undefine it and don't use it, otherwise the code won't compile.

If someone wants to contribute DEVFS support for 2.6 I'm sure it would
make it into cvs, but I don't see anyone wasting any time on it
considering DEVFS is considered obsolete in 2.6
