Actually this is exactly what /etc/devfsd.conf is for.  You can set it up
so that for a certain class of devices symlinks are created for old /dev
tree compatibility.  There is also functionality for loading a module when
a certain device is requested.  Much nicer than kmod in my opinion becuase
the naming system is more intuitive.
