I agree that adding this ioctl is symmetrical from the a device
emulation standpoint, but I was imagining eventually replacing the eep
with an automatic scheme, or at least with a more realtime-oriented
parameter. Fixating the interface as you propose will make such a
transition much harder.

Thanks,
Henrik
