AFAIK we don't currently have any platform that runs binaries with
different sizes of "int" but this is a) an unsigned value anyway, and b)
should be a fixed type (eg u32)

Otherwise it looks ok at the momenmt, although there is a real nasty
waiting for anyone who tries to use it. At the point open is possible or
IRQs can be enabled you are safe in the core merged as idev->info is
always valid, but any driver module trying to go back via info->uio_dev
has a NULL pointer for an early IRQ or open event.

This means that the fasync support in the current code is basically
unusable until this is fixed
