Which would also simplify the .xfs drivers that at the current state 
need to react on the dev numbers 0-31 which is not clean enough IMHO. 
Even if the Dcntl( FS_MOUNT, "u:\d", fsdescr ) does work with my 
patches (in CVS) it is still required. Moreover the Dcntl fills in the 
automaticaly generated device number for such mount action. The .xfs 
author still needs to check whether it should return the ERANGE from 
xfs_root( devnum == 0-31 ) or not which I don't like.

Just my next 2 cents speking for the proposed changes.
