The major number list inside the kernel is built from the file
src/sys/arch/<arch>/conf/majors.<arch>.  So, for sparc64, USB is:

  $ grep usb src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/majors.sparc64
  device-major    usb             char 78                 usb

Minor numbers depend on the driver in question.  There are also other USB
devices (e.g. urio) to add to the majors file.

/dev/MAKEDEV is generated from the scripts and templates src/etc/MAKEDEV*.
The script pulls in the arch-specific majors file as well.
