    unix: add Major, Minor and Mkdev functions on Linux · 85d14950
    Tobias Klauser authored
    Add Major, Minor and Mkdev functions for converting devices numbers to
    their major/minor components and vice versa.
    
    The functions follow the behavior of glibc's corresponding macros. Also
    add an explanatory comment about the device number format, so the magic
    numbers make more sense.
    
    Test the conversion macros with some well-known device numbers for
    devices which should be present on any Linux system.
    
    Fixes golang/go#8106
