I would do this if I was confident I could do this for all Wine hosts, but as
been pointed out there are lots of varations in mknod. Given I have only been
using Wine for a couple of weeks and have never generated a patch I suspect
doing this would currently be tricky for me.
On Real Windows I read the MSRs in my kernel mode driver, but on Wine this
driver gets run in User Mode. The is the problem I am working around. Were
Wine to run my driver in Kernel Mode then I would not need to use mknod() at
all, so I have logged http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20098.
