NVidia patch for kdev_t

[Nicholas Petreley]

Re: The fellow who noted that kdev_t breaks the current nv.c driver.

I'm just guessing here based on what other patches I've seen, so pardon me
if this isn't the proper way to handle the change, or if I missed anything. 
But it worked for me and my GeForce3.  This patch is against
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2314.
