    Remove all the magic surrounding the special Xen devices in Linux
    specific code whereby we attempt to figure out what the correct
    major:minor number is and check the the existing device has these
    numbers etc. In 2010 we really should be able to trust that the
    platform has created the devices correctly or provide correct
    configuration settings such that they are without resorting to tearing
    down the platform configured state and rebuilding it.
    
    tools/hotplug/Linux/xen-backend.rules already contains the necessary
    udev rules to create /dev/xen/evtchn and friends in the correct place.
