* passed to a function with a K&R definition, the compiler automatically
* promotes it to an int. The prototype must contain an int as the parameter,
* not a short, because an int is what an old-style function definition
* expects. Thus using dev_t in a prototype would be incorrect. It would be
* sufficient to just use int instead of dev_t in the prototypes, but Dev_t
* is clearer.
