Subject: [PATCH] Fix capi devicenames

capi device names should get changed to what userspace expects.
Without this change recent udev versions can't produce working device
nodes as the capi control device node name "capi" collides with the
"capi" directory under which userspace expects to get the application
device nodes. This also fixes the Documentation.
