  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().
