Subject: New IOCTLs

I need to send device control messages to the driver. I am planning to
use the IOCTLs. But I came to know that Linux community does not
accept any new IOCTLs anymore.
Can somebody provide the reason behind the decision? Are there any
better approach to implement the device control interface other than
sysfs interface. I have some issues in using the sysfs interface.
Thanks in advance.
