with the help of John Bowler, track down the ugly ABI change between 2.4 / 2.6 on big endian arm kernels and work around it best we can at runtime

+/* OK, this is ugly, but not much we can do about it.
+ *
+ * The issue at hand is that the kernel introduced an ABI change between
+ * 2.4 and 2.6 for big endian machines on some architectures in stat64 with
+ * st_dev and st_rdev fields. Older kernels used 'short' but newer kernels
+ * use a 'long'. As if that wasn't fun enough, the location of st_blocks and
+ * its padding have swapped. So, when applicable, we need to detect and shift
+ * bits around and hope for the best. The kernel at least helps us out a bit
+ * because it will be sure to zero out all padding fields.
+ *
+ * Unimportant Note About Mis-detections:
+ * - if user is running a 2.4 system with the old ABI and they stat a file on
+ * a system which major 0 / minor 0. We can ignore this though because the
+ * kernel has major 0 reserved for non mountable devices (wh00t!)
+ * - if user is running a 2.6 system with the new ABI and they stat a file on
+ * a device whose st_dev fills up the lower 6 bytes into the upper 2 bytes
+ * which overlap. Again we should be able to safely ignore this because
+ * that means it'd be a pretty big ass (read: uncommon) major/minor combo :).
