joydev compat_ioctl still broken

[Daniel Drake]

Hi Brian,

In 2005 you rejected a patch rejecting some COMPATIBLE_IOCTL entries for
joydev:

This appears to still be non-functional as of the present day (tested on 
2.6.22). Any chance you could weigh in on the following bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9652

Thanks!
Daniel

Commit 024ac44c701d43f5e2d34bd6a35b2813a36e6010 should have fixed the
compat ioctls in the correct manner.

Running "jstest --old js0" works for me on my amd64 system (kernel
2.6.23.14-107.fc8).
