remove mentionings of devfs in documentation

Now that devfs is removed, there's no longer any need to document how to
do this or that with devfs.

This patch includes some improvements by Joe Perches.

Unfortunately many modems and most ISDN TAs use proprietary interfaces and
thus won't work with this drivers. Check for ACM compliance before buying.
The driver (with devfs) creates these devices in /dev/usb/acm:
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 0 Apr 1 10:49 0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 1 Apr 1 10:49 1
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 2 Apr 1 10:49 2
And so on, up to 31, with the limit being possible to change in acm.c to up
to 256, so you can use up to 256 USB modems with one computer (you'll need
three USB cards for that, though).
If you don't use devfs, then you can create device nodes with the same
minor/major numbers anywhere you want, but either the above location or
/dev/usb/ttyACM0 is preferred.
To use the modems you need these modules loaded:
usbcore.ko

If you are using devfs:
The devices supported by this driver will show up as
/dev/usb/tts/{0,1,...}
When the device is connected and recognized by the driver, the driver
will print to the system log, which node(s) the device has been bound
to.
