I just got back out from F12 push to look at lkml again ;-)

My main problem which no-one seem to address with all these compat ioctls
is they suck for maintainance, adding the compat_ptr "hacks" into the actual
ioctls is much easier to maintain in that I can see in the code where we've done
these and if code flow has to change I can deal with it all in one place.

Doing all these out-of-line hidden over here in a separate file just
seems crazy,
and I'm  having trouble wondering why ppl consider it a better idea at all.

It adds probably 1000 more LOC versus one inline with a decent name used
inline to replace current casting in the driver.

If the ioctl flow or interface "changes" someone has to remember about all
of these (granted this is unlikely since we pretty much set them in stone).

Dave.
