Canyoucheck if it is possible to:
  - check if it is possible to create a premission table with no UID or
    GID, only a mode,
  - if so:
    - move the mkuser script call before th makedev call in fs/common.mk
    - use a permission table as suggested by Thomas.

If it's not possible to not specify UID/GID in a permission table, then
we'll have to do with your solution.

Thanks.
