A puzzy of init_netlink (/net/netlink/netlink_dev.c)

hi all,

	A puzzy boring me now...
	In init_netlink() (/net/netlink/netlink_dev.c), at first a character device named "netlink" will register in the root of devfs and then a directory also named "netlink" will be made in the root of the devfs. There are many devices will register in the "netlink" directory subsequently.

	I have checked the /dev , only the "netlink" character device registered.
	Who can tell me that when the "netlink" directory can be made? and why only the "netlink" character device registered? 

	thanks in advance
