I don't really understand why the metadata problem is considered a problem.
Just keep the metadata in a file.  Every time you make a change to devfs the
devfs driver rewrites the file, and on startup you use the file set modes on
the devfs files.  Now if the hardware changes between reboots you'll have a
problem, but it's the same problem as we have now.
