The disappearing sys_call_table export.

I use the following calls:
sys_mknodsys_chownsys_umasksys_unlinkfor creating/deleting /dev entries dynamically on driver loading/unloading. It allows me to acquire dynamic major number without devfs and external utility of any kind.
Well, duh. "Without devds and external utility" is a no-goal. You set it, you screw trying to achieve it. It's like a well-known Russian joke: "[...] We remove the adenoid tissue... through the anal opening with a blowtorch".

I use
sys_writeto output loading/device detection/diagnostic messages to process's stderr when appropriate. Yes, it may look as "wrong thing" but it uses only legal kernel mechanisms and it saves lots of time with e-mail support:/sbin/insmoddriver verbose=1 2>&1 | mail -s 'it does not works' me@
And pray tell how is syslog different?

I disagree. It is small and nice solution. It is my own devfs for pre-devfs kernels.

syslog has the same text first.
