Summary:                    makedevs behavior differs from documentation
Description: 
According to the documentation, the makedevs interprets the value in the
last column of its input file as the number of devices to create. This is
not true, for exampele should the default configuration create hda[1-15],
but hda15 is missing. Changing the statement

  for (i = start; i < count; i++)

in makedevs.c into

  for (i = start; i < start+count; i++)

should fix the problem.
