/* Note that NO_DEV is major 0, minor 0, and means "no device". In contrast,
* NONE_MAJOR is used for file systems that do not have backing device (but are
* mounted on device 'none'). For administrative purposes, these file systems
* need to be assigned a pseudo device, and such pseudo devices are allocated
* with major number NONE_MAJOR. Because of NO_DEV, the NONE_MAJOR devices
* start from minor number 1. Otherwise, NONE_MAJOR is completely independent
* from NO_DEV, and it should be possible to set NONE_MAJOR to a nonzero value!
