In my case, this ioctl is used the background operation for eMMC.
In eMMC's case, background operation(BKOPS) is supported.
(but that is running with only card notifier, so i added new ioctl for user request)

if we send the BKOPS request, card is notified to need the BKOPS. 
then running background operation. (Then user's responsibility is done)

In future, i think that other block device should be used this ioctl.
(if supported like BKOPS)

Regard,
Jaehoon Chung
