I just took a Linux Foundation training class and one of the points the
Foundation made was the Linux community wanting to move off of IOCTLs
to other userspace-to-kernelspace mechanisms (like sysfs for example). 

I was wondering if it's a good thing to be continuing to add IOCTLs if
it is true that the Linux community would like to move off the reliance
of IOCTLs?
