This seems to contain a few things:  userspace ABIs, on the wire
defintions, and prototypes for the code added in patch 2.

The userspace ABIs should be a header on it's own.  For new code
we also usually try to split the protocol definitions from the
in-kernel APIs, although that's not even reflected in the headers
here.  If you think it's reasonable to split those out those should
be a separate new patch, and the actual in-kernel data structures
and protoypes should just go with the actual code in your current patch
2.

This is missing a couple spaces for the common kerneldoc format.

What is the difference between sec_data and dev?  And do your really
need either one when using the container_of trick I pointed out in
response to the other patch.

I'll need to look at the details again, but it seems like each ioctl
uses exactly one of the structures in the union above, so there is no
real need for that union.
