This structure is identical to the one in musl except that it has
32-bit dev_t plus padding in place of 64-bit dev_t, and the musl
version has reserved space at the end. Can you check whether the dev_t
issue is actually a problem (it might be, based on endianness, and if
so I think it would require ugly fixups in userspace)?
