syscall: cannot use s.Rdev (type uint32) as type uint64 in field value on mips

1. What version of Go are you using (go version)?
   go1.7.rc2

2. What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?
   [root@localhost ~]# go env
   GOARCH="mips64le"
   GOBIN=""
   GOEXE=""
   GOHOSTARCH="mips64le"
   GOHOSTOS="linux"
   GOOS="linux"
   GOPATH=""
   GORACE=""
   GOROOT="/usr/lib/golang"
   GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/golang/pkg/tool/linux_mips64le"
   CC="gcc"
   GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -mabi=64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/go-build685506292=/tmp/go-build"
   CXX="g++"
   CGO_ENABLED="1"

3. What did you do?
   My PC is a mips64le pc. When I compile the docker, I encountered a problem:

   this is the error message:
   docker/pkg/system/stat_linux.go:13: cannot use s.Rdev (type uint32) as type uint64 in field value

3.1 In go/src/syscall/syscall_linux_mips64x.go, I see that

type stat_t struct {
    Dev        uint32

3.2 On my pc RUN: man 2 stat, I see that

struct stat {
    dev_t     st_dev;

3.3 Then I wrote a test program.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int main()
{
    printf("sizeof(dev_t) = %d\n", sizeof(dev_t));

    return 0;
}
---------------------------
sizeof(dev_t) = 8

Weird. @cherrymui, how did you generate that file?

[cherrymui]

The kernel's layout is (e.g. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/stat.h#L92)

#if _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI64

/* The memory layout is the same as of struct stat64 of the 32-bit kernel.  */
struct stat {
    unsigned int        st_dev;

So I believe uint32 is correct. Go invokes syscalls directly to the kernel, so we should use kernel's layout instead of libc's.

@cherrymui ， thx， I see.

@ka1em How did you fix the problem at last? Now I am building kubernetes os mips64el/Fedora 21 and getting the same error shown as follows. Any suggestions for me? Many thanks.
