I'd shoot that down, too.  Using udev in an

troublesome.  Although, products I've
developed using more than 4 UARTs had
some custom /dev work done to it just
to get everything mapped.  My only
concern is we don't add a new range for
QE UARTs, that we use the same minors
for both CPM and QE.

Then it appears that the only possible solution is to assign numbers 46 - 53 to the CPM/QE 
and accept that it overlaps with the Altix.  Is everyone okay with that?
