Let's leave that alone, or at best just put in a comment saying
we assume it's integral.  Nobody uses floating-point for dev_t,
and if anybody did, there would be a compile-time error anyway,
so no real harm done.  In that sense dev_t is the same as time_t,
which we also assume is an integer despite POSIX's saying it might
be floating.
