dev_t is already 32-bit. Changing it to 64-bit was discussed at some
point and from what I recall no decision was made:

http://marc.info/?t=129119478700005&r=1&w=2

I'm going to commit preparatory changes only for now. Then publish diff
for testing. We can still change dev_t to 64-bit if needed. Although I
didn't work on it.

Thanks,
Gleb.
