Although we inadvertently removed support for weird devices in 2009 by

care (because people use dd or whatever to deal with weird devices), I
think it'd be better to limit the fix to regular files. And while we're
at it we might as well resurrect support for weird devices.


Paul I'm happy with your patch for this.
I've rebased and tweaked the summary and NEWS slightly in the attached.

OK for me to apply?

Preemptively marking this as done.

cheers,
Pádraig
