The reason is simple: adbdev_init() is now declared as module_init, and no
longer called from drivers/char/mem.c (which used to call all chardev init
functions). However, the adbdev code is not built as a module, rather
compiled in. What were you trying to achieve here, Paul?

I guess just adding back the adbdev_init() call to mem.c should restore
pmud to function. Or try forcing a build of adb.o as module.
