// Device is the base class of everything that lives in the /dev directory.
//
// All Devices will automatically register with the VFS.
// To expose a Device to the filesystem, simply pass two unique numbers to the constructor,
// and then mknod a file in /dev with those numbers.
//
// There are two main subclasses:
//   - BlockDevice (random access)
//   - CharacterDevice (sequential)
