Unfortunately this would introduce a binary-compatibility change in
o32 ABI, since __dev_t is a u_quad_t. We could change it for n32 and
n64, though. Should we?
Other than that, no changes should be required in mips/bits/stat.h.
The changes I had made before were entirely unnecessary, so I withdraw
that part of the patch. I'm yet to revisit the need for the fcntl.h
changes.
