Changes
-------

Revision 1:
  When reloading a device the ioctl interface was forgetting to drop a
  reference on the new table.

Revision 2:
  Fix __LOW macro.  [Kevin Corry]

Revision 3:
  Use the correct size for "name" in register_with_devfs().
  
  During Al Viro's devfs cleanup a few versions ago, this function was
  rewritten, and the "name" string added. The 32-byte size is not large
  enough to prevent a possible buffer overflow in the sprintf() call,
  since the hash cell can have a name up to 128 characters.
  
  [Kevin Corry]
