more devfs fun

BTW, what the hell is that?
/*
* hwgraph_bdevsw_get - returns the fops of the given devfs entry.
*/
struct file_operations *
hwgraph_bdevsw_get(devfs_handle_t de)
{
return(devfs_get_ops(de));
}

It's arch/ia64/sn/io/hcl.c. The funny thing being, the thing
you will get from devfs_get_ops() will _not_ be struct file_operations *.
And that's aside of the fact that any use of that function is very
likely to be racy as hell. Sigh...
