Appropriately use -ENOIOCTLCMD when
the ioctl is not implemented by a driver.

so this return value does not go back to userspace?
Comment in linux/errno.h says:
/* Should never be seen by user programs */

and ENOTTY is the return value for "Inappropriate ioctl for device":

 you're right. I'll go for ENOTTY. thanks.

ENOIOCTLCMD is right here, *except* in the very last hunk, because
it's a request to the upper layers to emulate the operation:

The last hunk should be ENOTTY.

So would a patch like this be welcome and clear this up?
