This is all left-over crude from devfs/udev and trying to support 2.4 
and 2.6.  I imagine that you're actually seeing a /dev/evtchn from udev 
and Xend is manually creating /dev/xen/evtchn at startup.
There's a general cleanup needed here that's on my TODO list.  Just been 
overly distracted lately.
