Just thought there may be a better place to put it: /dev/.dev
It just takes some more fiddling to mount it there:
# mount the old /dev to /dev/.dev
# since /dev is hidden, I need to bind mount / somwhere else first
mkdir /dev/.dev /dev/.tmp
mount --bind / /dev/.tmp
mount --bind /dev/.tmp/dev /dev/.dev
# now I can remove /dev/.tmp
umount /dev/.tmp
rmdir /dev/.tmp
So, no clutter in /, and the old /dev is available in /dev/.dev, where
MAKEDEV should be able to find it, too.
