Oh, this is a catch when backport to 2.7. Here is a patch that makes dev_t 
converter to support int and int-like types. Added tests (surprisingly there 
were no tests for makedev/major/minor at all).

> so maybe revert that optimization for the released branches?

It is not an optimization, but required for backward compatibility. Third-party 
code can expect int and only int.
