We have some places in the code where we expect a cdev name, but
also allow a full /dev/ path. We handle this by doing:
if (!strncmp(name, "/dev/", 5))
name += 5;
As Peter noticed this of course only works when devfs is mounted on
/dev/. With this series we actually enforce that to avoid surprises.
Also we "officially" allow to pass a /dev/ path for opening a cdev
by moving the above code to cdev_open.
