So linuxkpi was broken before this commit as well, as I noted in my

Hi,

The LinuxKPI uses minor/major/makedev internally.

y = makedev(z,t)

Then the LinuxKPI assumes z and t can be retrieved through minor and major: minor(y) == z and major(y) == t

If "y" is an "int" and it is assigned a 64-bit value, it is obvious that this code no longer holds true. Same might be in userspace/ports.

So yes, this change breaks the LinuxKPI, at least some parts of it.
