 * linux/drivers/char/misc.c
 *
 * Generic misc open routine by Johan Myreen
 *
 * Based on code from Linus
 *
 * Teemu Rantanen's Microsoft Busmouse support and Derrick Cole's
 *   changes incorporated into 0.97pl4
 *   by Peter Cervasio (pete%q106fm.uucp@wupost.wustl.edu) (08SEP92)
 *   See busmouse.c for particulars.
 *
 * Made things a lot mode modular - easy to compile in just one or two
 * of the misc drivers, as they are now completely independent. Linus.
 *
 * Support for loadable modules. 8-Sep-95 Philip Blundell <pjb27@cam.ac.uk>
 *
 * Fixed a failing symbol register to free the device registration
 *		Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> 21-Jan-96
 *
 * Dynamic minors and /proc/mice by Alessandro Rubini. 26-Mar-96
 *
 * Renamed to misc and miscdevice to be more accurate. Alan Cox 26-Mar-96
 *
 * Handling of mouse minor numbers for kerneld:
 *  Idea by Jacques Gelinas <jack@solucorp.qc.ca>,
 *  adapted by Bjorn Ekwall <bj0rn@blox.se>
 *  corrected by Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
 *
 * Changes for kmod (from kerneld):
 *	Cyrus Durgin <cider@speakeasy.org>
