Actually, that's *not* the same as what you have; the major numbers are
different.  At the suggestion of Patrick Welche, I tried re-running
MAKEDEV out of my re-supped source tree, but it re-made *mem with major ==
2.

Why are there two major numbers to choose from?  Does this have anything
to do with UVM and/or PMAP_NEW?  It makes me nervous to think that I might
have the wrong MAKEDEV.
