So I went off to do it this way, and while I certainly can, (I'm almost
done rewriting it this way) after a bit more thought I really don't see
much wrong with just translating in the 32-bit args for any ioctl which
is _IOW only... it doesn't seem that bad... any particular reason you're
against it?
