You don't want to do this.  What you are doing is manually extracting
the major and minor device numbers.  Use the existing kernel primitives
for kdev_t types, so that your code will work when major/minor is no
longer 8/8 but 12/20 as proposed for future.  See major() and minor()
from include/linux/kdev_t.h.
