This patch won't even remotely apply to 2.4.18-pre7. Please don't
submit patches which were generated against old kernels unless you've
verified that they apply to the latest kernel.

Furthermore, if you look at 2.4.18-pre7, you'll notice that devfs has
changed the way most of it's messages are generated, and uses the
KERN_ values quite a bit.
