I see one small change in behaviour with this kernel.

During boot when initializing udev I see 

Initializing udev dynamic device directory.
grep: /proc/ide/sr0/model: No such file or directory
grep: /proc/ide/sr1/model: No such file or directory

With previous kernels I only see

Initializing udev dynamic device directory.

That is because you have a udev script that is expecting to see ide
stuff in proc.  That has now been moved to sysfs, so you should not need
to run external scripts to detect ide devices now.  I suggest you go bug
your distro, or whoever set up those rules about it.

err, we don't want to break existing userspace setups, please.

I agree.  Bart, want to put the /proc stuff back, mark it depreciated in
the Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt as going away in 6 months
or so, and then remove it after that time has gone by?

thanks,
