    It would be nice if chrdev_open were added to ksyms.c along with
    blkdev_open since tape devices seem are always registered as character
    rather than block devices.

    I am finding that kernel modules that need to open and close a tape
    drive have to export chrdev_open manually on 2.4.3. Can this get
    exported as well? Closing is not a problem since the method of
    calling (->release) seems to work OK with SCSI tape devices.

    :-)
