It would be good if you posted manpages for these ioctls
so that the interface can be reviewed. After all
that's intended to be used by applications, isn't it?

There don't seem to be compat ioctl handlers?

How should the application use that if the include file is in fs/ceph?
Should be in include/linux I guess

Also this file should define all the types needed for the interface,
especialy struct ceph_file_layout, but no kernel internal types.
