 This change is wrong.  Note in sys/sys/types.h that the kernel and
 userland definitions are in sync -- compair udev_t in kernel land
 and dev_t in userland.
 
 However, we have dev_t defined in places it shouldn't be, such as
 svr4_types.h and sys/coda/coda.h.  Both of these define it as u_long
 which will give a size mismatch on the Alpha.
