Use of a comma suggests decimal. Use of a colon suggests hex.
I'd like to see both, like this:

Device type: 22,64 016:00040

Hex matches up with /proc/*/maps and the pmap command.
Hex is generally what the kernel prints to the log. Unfortunately
we still have an ls command that uses decimal, and tools like
mknod that probably don't accept hex yet.

The proper hex format varies by OS. Ones I know:

%03x:%05x  Linux   (12,20 split)
%02x:%06x  HP-UX (8,25 split)
%04x:%05x  SysV    (14,18 split)
%04x:%04x  BSD     (16,16 split)
