1e94ddb453 Provide more detailed specification for major(), minor() and makedev().
Remove some statements which are no longer correct after ino64, and
clarify other.

The rewording is not in fact specific to ino64 and improvements are
useful on the stable branches.

2c3fbde10d Small typo in the makedev(3) manpage.
devtoname(3) is a nonexistent function. We do have devtoname(9), but
that's entirely different. The correct function is devname(3).

66c6ebfe6b Several documentation fixups related to device minor/major numbers:
- Document the minor(3), major(3) and makedev(3) macro's. They also
  apply to umajor() and uminor() in the kernel, but hopefully we'll sort
  that out one day.

- Briefly dev2unit() inside the make_dev(9) manual page, since this is
  now the preferred macro to obtain character device unit numbers inside
  the kernel.

- Remove the device_ids(9) manual page. It contains highly inaccurate
  information, such as a description of the nonexistent major().
