Given that subdirectories in /dev are not supported, and may be
removed, if we end up needing to do that for some technical reason,
it's probably better to just go that route on both 10.4 and 10.5

This is probably the approach we will end up taking... just have to
actually do it :)
Oi! That's my code you'd be ripping out! ;o)
The reason for the subdirectories in the first place was to allow
LUNs to be identified by the port and node WWNs on the host and RAID
controller that uniquely described their path on the fibre channel
network. The WWNs are too long to include in the one devfs node
name, so the only option is to use a hierarchy.
Subdirectories do not remove the node name length limit.
