Ok, two things:
1) btrfs-control is a *character* device and _not_ a *block device*
2) on my system it is allocated under 10,55 (major/minor).
$ stat /dev/btrfs-control
File: `/dev/btrfs-control'
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 character special file

ghigo@venice:~$ ls -l /dev/btrfs-control

Looking at the source
btrfs-unstable/fs/btrfs$ grep -A 2 -B 2 "btrfs-control" *.c
super.c-static struct miscdevice btrfs_misc = {
super.c- .minor = MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR,
super.c: .name = "btrfs-control",
super.c- .fops = &btrfs_ctl_fops
super.c-};
It seems that it is dynamically allocated. The "major" should be always 10,
the minor may be find with
$ cat /proc/misc | grep btrfs-control
55 btrfs-control
Or by
$ cat /sys/class/misc/btrfs-control/dev
10:55
