Argg. That's also non-funny:

[hch@sb linux]$ grep __kernel_dev_t; include/asm-*/posix_types.h
include/asm-alpha/posix_types.h:typedef unsigned int __kernel_dev_t;
include/asm-arm/posix_types.h:typedef unsigned short __kernel_dev_t;
include/asm-cris/posix_types.h:typedef unsigned short __kernel_dev_t;
include/asm-i386/posix_types.h:typedef unsigned short __kernel_dev_t;
include/asm-ia64/posix_types.h:typedef unsigned int __kernel_dev_t;
include/asm-m68k/posix_types.h:typedef unsigned short __kernel_dev_t;
