- homogenize section order
- sort devices inside sections
- make sure all platforms provide a local target (sigh)
- remove a few dead devices not worth mentioning on a few arches while there.

ioctl(2), an unprivileged process may allocate a pty and have its owner
and mode set appropriately. This means that programs such as xterm and
screen no longer need to be setuid. Programs using the openpty()
function require zero changes and will "just work".
Designed by beck@ and deraadt@; changes by beck@ with cleanup (and
a rewrite of the vnode bits) by art@ and tweaks/bugfixes by me.
Tested by many.
Tested by various people on various platforms, I'm willing to fix any
breakage this causes.
ok niels@ deraadt@ and mickey@ (after his comments were applied)
.mi -> edit this to add new devices
.sub -> hardcore m4 here, be careful
*/*.md -> machine dependent information (generally device,block (& char) major)
Thanks for eyes/conversation about this over the years from espie, deraadt,
johns, fgsch, hugh, weingart, mickey, and others ..
