No not nice well they won't both happen, so ...

crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 2 Aug 29 1992 /dev/kmem
brw-rw---- 1 root root 65535, 281474976710655 Apr 1 2001 /dev/last_dev_16_48
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 May 4 1994 /dev/sda

... or ...

crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 2 Aug 29 1992 /dev/kmem
brw-rw---- 1 root root 4294967295, 4294967295 Apr 1 2001 /dev/last_dev_32_32
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 May 4 1994 /dev/sda
