[PATCH] Some updates for Gentoo's udev rules

Hi,

Here is a few updates for the udev.rules.gentoo from udev package.
I will summarise it briefly:

1)  The last change you did to legacy tty's is wrong.

I say this because:
1a)  The original devfs rules had both master and slave in /dev/pty:

nosferatu linux # grep devfs_name drivers/char/pty.c
        pty_driver->devfs_name = "pty/m";
        pty_slave_driver->devfs_name = "pty/s";
nosferatu linux #


1b)  If you refer to '2.6.8.1-mm1 Tty problems?', you will see that
the /dev/tty/ directory our rules create, replaces this symlink:

nosferatu portage # ls -l /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw-  1 root tty 5, 0 Nov 14 17:06 /dev/tty
nosferatu portage #

which is used to determine the controlling tty.

2)  Somebody added the /dev/cpu/microcode rule, but it was not run
as there was an older rule before that placing it in /dev/misc (which
is wrong).  Just remove the first broken rule

3)  Some form/tab cleanups.  Reorder rules alphabetically according to
device class to make searching/editing easier.
