Someone needs to work through all of the feedback that we received on list for
the MIPS, Power and TILE implementations. Link provided in comment 3.
Off the top of my head:
(a) Binary compatibility in the cases where ioctl has a C wrapper in glibc.
(b) MIPS, Power, and TILE interfaces when older kernels are used need to be
verified with help from those maintainers.
(c) Validate that the changes, including casts in INLINE_SYSCALL don't break
what strace shows for the arguments to ioctl (even if the claim is that strace
looks at only the low 16-bits).
(c) At a minimum look over the ruby code and verify their ioctl glue doesn't
break with this change.
