Type-change of kdev_t

  Hi,

      I'm no kernel hacker so I am little hesitant to speak; however,
  I'm looking at kdev_t.h from the linux-2.5.3-pre1 source.

  The type of kdev_t has changed recently from a scalar type to a
  structured type. Should macro definitions such as MINOR(dev) also
  be revised to be consistent with the "new" kdev_t ?

  Something like:

  #define MINOR(dev) ((unsigned int) ((dev.value) & MINORMASK))

  rather than

  #define MINOR(dev) ((unsigned int) ((dev) & MINORMASK))

  Then usage of the MINOR() macro remains unchanged.
  
  Regards,

          Roger Brown
