From: Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl
The patch below adds a new system call mknod64 for i386. If there are no
objections I'll add it to the other architectures as well.
Note that the prototype is
mknod64(const char *name, int mode, unsigned int devhi, unsigned int devlo)
(and not ... unsigned int major, unsigned int minor).
