Hi Linus,

This is the second version of this pull request and you don't seem to be
pulling it either.

Could you please tell us what kind of hesitation or problems you may have
with this?

If you think it's too late to merge this, we can still cook it for 2.6.35
and apply every dependent ioctl conversion in the same tree, this will have
the drawback that we can't push dependent patches to the relevant maintainers
trees (that said I guess that a good part of the drivers that still implement ioctl
are about unmaintained areas).

Or may be you don't like the core idea of this patch.

Either way please tell us so that we can go ahead with this and choose a
direction that looks more appropriate for you.

Thanks,
	Frederic.
