- The return value of the new compat_ioctl methods should probably
'int', not 'long'. We've had the discussion before and then

unlocked_ioctl functions -- even though int is more appropriate,
but having the same prototype has the advantage that a driver
can use the same function for both ->ioctl and ->compat_ioctl
if all calls are compatible.
Any comments on this or should I assume that
compat_ioctl() will stay with ulong return type?
