Hi,

Currently it is just because of some special features like cloneable devices 
which are not supported by specfs. Else I could maybe wrap my FreeBSD-devfs 
into the NetBSD-specfs layer.

VREG has one problem in that FIONBIO ioctls are not forwarded to my layer, but 
VFIFO works fine.

Thanks for your time!
