Yes, it's probably time we changed that - nobody's noticed it before.
We just have to check the code copes OK if someone sets it to a large number
then reboots with a kernel that doesn't support it.

Setting the major number at device creation time is *still* not supported in
2.6.  (2.4 does support it.)
