Summary: os.major() os.minor() example and description change

Initial Comment:
The description for os.major() and os.minor() are damn
poor.
major(  	device)
    Extracts a device major number from a raw device
number. New in version 2.3. 

minor( 	device)
    Extracts a device minor number from a raw device
number. New in version 2.3. 

The really bad part is the term "raw device number". 

it should be:
Extracts a device [major,minor] number for stat st_rdev
field, or returns a zero if the st_rdev does not
reference a special block device.

Example follows.
