ioctl definition - has it changed recently?

Hello,

I build new kernels when they become available. Now I have a problem. 
After I install new kernel I have to run NVidia setup script. Starting 
from git15 it fails, see attached file. The error line is here:

    /tmp/selfgz6622/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.35/kernel/nv.c: At top level:
    /tmp/selfgz6622/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.35/kernel/nv.c:426: error: 
unknown field ‘ioctl’ specified in initializer
    /tmp/selfgz6622/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.35/kernel/nv.c:426: warning: 
initialization from incompatible pointer type

In git14 everything was OK, but now it is not, also with the Git synced 
kernel. Has something changed from git14 times? I hope that it changed 
in Linux because it will be fixed earlier than NVidia source.

My graphic card is 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation 
G96 [GeForce 9400 GT] (rev a1)

Regards,

Piotr Hosowicz
