This would mean new stat() system call, would not it? You probably
want to extend st_size to 64 bits and maybe even expand st_rdev. Talk
to jj@sunsite.ms.mff.cuni.cz, he already did some of this.

The obvious thing to do is to look at the glibc stat structure and use
that as a starting point for which fields to expand.
