memory driver

[r_prabhakara@lko.tcs.co.in]

        excuse me if this sounds very silly. is memory considered as a device or resource? linux has the entry "1   /dev/mem" in /proc/devices file. 
this means that there is a driver (with major number 1) for driving memory. if not then what's the use of major number here? 
TIA,
