Well, perhaps ... also one that takes an actual value for the reset type
instead of a pointer to a value that requires compat processing.
However, the goal of this exercise was simply to provide backwards

Probably, longer term, the reset ioctls should be provided by the
transport class, since they're pretty much transport specific.
