Having started this mess, I'll throw my half euros worth in :). While
I agree that sysfs is the right way to go, I'm not going to be able to
pull it off. Not withstanding my total lack of knowledge about sysfs,
I've been very fortunate in that I've been doing all of this work on
company time. Due to project constraints, that company time is coming
to an end. I could eek out another week or two and get a set of 64-
bit ioctls, but I will not be able to spend a couple more months of
company time learning sysfs and implementing it. And I just don't
have any personal time to spare right now. I'm sorry, if it's
anything other than ioctl I just can't do it.
That being said, if a set of ioctls is acceptable, I'm more than happy
to take that on as soon as we reach a consensus.
