Subject: [PATCH 1/7] scsi/i2o_block: cleanup ioctl handling

This fixes the ioctl function of the i2o_block driver, which
has multiple problems:

* The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return
  -ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0.
* Support for 32 bit compat is missing
* The driver should use the .ioctl function and because
  .locked_ioctl is going away.

The use of the big kernel lock remains for now, but gets
made explictit in the ioctl function.
