We can make it a proper reject.

OK, we can make it unsigned int (mostly u32) for fs_info::*_devices, but
still do extra limits on things like device add to limit it to U16_MAX.

Would this be a better solution?
At least it would still half the width while keep it native to most (if
not all) archs.

Thanks,
