[PATCH][RFC] MIPS: Simplify ioctl.h header file.

  given the application of the patch for the enhanced
<asm-generic/ioctl.h> header file I submitted yesterday, this would be
a patch against the MIPS ioctl.h file to shorter it considerably.

  similar trivial patches would be available for alpha, parisc and
powerpc.

- * The original linux ioctl numbering scheme was just a general

- * assigned.  Sorry, I was clueless when I started out on this.
- *
- * On the alpha, we'll try to clean it up a bit, using a more sane
- * ioctl numbering, and also trying to be compatible with OSF/1 in
- * the process. I'd like to clean it up for the i386 as well, but
- * it's so painful recognizing both the new and the old numbers..
- *
- * The same applies for for the MIPS ABI; in fact even the macros
- * from Linux/Alpha fit almost perfectly.
