The patch takes care of the major device number change. A full description of the change is given below. In the kernel-2.6.12.3 version, the jsm driver uses a static number of 253. The major number 253 is a reserved for "LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE" by both char and block devices. So the current patch takes advantage of the dynamic allocation of major number by the kernel. Please CC me your comments. Thanks. Signed-off-by: V.
