Wrong operators for the binary.

[Jose Luis Alarcon <jlalarcon@tiggerfan.com>]

  Hi all.

  I am trying compile a module that contains this line:

     printk("Device: %d.%d\n", inode->i_rdev >> 8, inode->i_rdev & 0xFF);

and the result is that gcc 3.2.1 says that '>>' and '&' are wrong operators for
the binary. Why?

  This module is extracted from Ori Pomerantz's "Linux Kernel Module Programming 
Guide" http://sdn.vlsm.org/share/LDP/lkmpg from the chapter two "Character Device 
Files", the source file is named chardev.c

  I think doesn't the matter, but the kernel in the machine with the problem is
2.5.49 and i'm using the module-init-tools-0.7

  Thanks very much for the help, in advance.

  Regards.

  Jose.
