Bug#149309: generic target in MAKEDEV

[Robert Millan]

Package: hurd
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello!

while porting I found some packages that assume MAKEDEV will
have a 'generic' target. I made up one basing on the description
from the GNU/Linux MAKEDEV manpage:

       generic
              Create  a  generic  subset of devices.  This is the
              standard devices, plus floppy drives, various  hard
              drives,  pseudo-terminals,  console  devices, basic
              serial devices, busmice, and printer ports.

(leaving mouse and printer)
