(I suggested having init_special_inode taking a kdev_t argument as its third arg, but viro yelled at me :))

Yes. If you think that a kdev_t is a pointer to a struct with device information, then having a kdev_t there is wrong, because a special device node can have arbitrary major,minor not necessarily belonging to any device, so rdev should just have the numbers.
