1. Please do do change the values.
2. Explain why you are going to kill these ioctls.
Jeff and Arjan have required that most of these ioctls go.

Even if you remove them, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE VALUES,
unless you have very, very good reason.

The cxgb3 driver has not yet appeared in a stable version of the linux kernel. The odds of breaking an application using these private ioctls are pretty slim. Since some cleanup was required, I chose not to let holes between the values.

Cheers,
Divy
