nbitsmajor and nbitsminor, as well as "32-bit opaque" have a rightful
place in mknod.

As somebody who's wanted to create device nodes for a netbooting
system on a system which had a different partitioning of device node
bits, and/or which did special internal hacks on device nodes, I can
say that having those would be Very Nice.
