-  v1.11
-    20020219   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Changed <devfs_rmdir> to allow later additions if not yet empty.
-  v1.12
-    20020406   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Removed silently introduced calls to lock_kernel() and
-	       unlock_kernel() due to recent VFS locking changes. BKL isn't
-	       required in devfs.
-  v1.13
-    20020428   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Removed 2.4.x compatibility code.
-  v1.14
-    20020510   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Added BKL to <devfs_open> because drivers still need it.
-  v1.15
-    20020512   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Protected <scan_dir_for_removable> and <get_removable_partition>
-	       from changing directory contents.
-  v1.16
-    20020514   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Minor cleanup of <scan_dir_for_removable>.
-  v1.17
-    20020721   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Switched to ISO C structure field initialisers.
-	       Switch to set_current_state() and move before add_wait_queue().
-    20020722   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Fixed devfs entry leak in <devfs_readdir> when *readdir fails.
-  v1.18
-    20020725   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Created <devfs_find_and_unregister>.
-  v1.19
-    20020728   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Removed deprecated <devfs_find_handle>.
-  v1.20
-    20020820   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Fixed module unload race in <devfs_open>.
-  v1.21
-    20021013   Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-	       Removed DEVFS_ FL_AUTO_OWNER.
-	       Switched lingering structure field initialiser to ISO C.
-	       Added locking when updating FCB flags.
-  v1.22
