Ah, sorry, I missed that this is the ioctl "name".  As the ptrace people
will complain, why not use a new one?  Ick, ioctl-number.rst is way out
of date, but I guess we should carve out one for "sample drivers, do not
use in anything real" use cases like here.

pr_info() doesn't show file lines from what I remember has that changed?

But wait, this is a misc device, you should be using dev_info() and
friends here, no pr_*() stuff please.

Fair enough, but if the copy fails, nothing gets printed out, right?
