The series of Advanced filesystem aricles shows you how to set up new advanced filesystems under the Linux 2.4 release. Article 3 covers using the virtual memory (VM) filesystem and bind mounts, article 2 covers using ReiserFS and Linux 2.4 and articel 1 covers Journalling and ReiserFS."

    No, you're right. From the looks of things, 2.5 won't have statically allocated devices. Instead it will use a DevFS-like system. It probably won't be devfs itself, but that isn't too bad: devfs is only the first implementation of a dynamic device-filesystem and therefore tends to have some child-deseases.
