Sounds good to me personally.  I think I came up with the bad name.
It really is job talking to pagg but I agree the name is confusing.

One issue is that it would require us to re-spin the job package as, at this
moment, it includes paggctl.h.  If you look at the job package, it itself has
a header called 'jobctl.h' that defines how the ioctl is done.  So it might
be confusing to have two jobctl.h headers (one in the kernel, one in
userland) but maybe we can come up with something else.

Limin is starting to take over the job side of things so I'll let her
comment and look in to the change.  -Erik
