[issue23842] SystemError: ../Objects/longobject.c:998: bad argument to internal function

Oh, this is a catch when backport to 2.7. Here is a patch that makes dev_t converter to support int and int-like types. Added tests (surprisingly there were no tests for makedev/major/minor at all).

> so maybe revert that optimization for the released branches?

It is not an optimization, but required for backward compatibility. Third-party code can expect int and only int.
