The way certain devices, like cd with its monotonically increasing counter
where devices are probed in order and assigned device based on precedence
and not hardwiring/controller connection, work is consistent between
the kernel and MAKEDEV. If you have 2 cd devices, you have cd0 and cd1,
so MAKEDEV accepts "cd2" for "two cd devices". All CD devices work
that way. Disks don't, because there is potential for hard-wiring
there, and will often be gaps.
