The bridge module uses this ioctl - but in the comment in
include/linux/sockios.h where it is defined says that the device private
IOCTL are "deprecated" and will disappear in 2.5.X (comment by DaveM).
I still see it being used in the 2.6.X bridge code - what's the story
behind this? Will SIOCDEVPRIVATE disappear or its just an invalid
comment because too many people/modules are using it (that it will never
be removed)?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Abhijit
