ug.
These ioctl mechanisms almost always (a) have design flaws [which cannot
be corrected, since they are in a spec] and (b) duplicate other
functionality of the Linux kernel. The SNIA ioctl mess is a great
example of this.
Without any additional info, my first reaction is that this is yet more
stuff Linux doesn't need.
