sundance: SIOCDEVPRIVATE pollution
To quote one of my favorite contemporary author: [include/linux/sockios.h] * THESE IOCTLS ARE _DEPRECATED_ AND WILL DISAPPEAR IN 2.5.X -DaveM */ #define SIOCDEVPRIVATE 0x89F0 /* to 89FF */ [...] Gentoo's snmpd trips up over this code when trying to figure if the driver supports the non-SIOCDEVPRIVATE API or not. One can argue over its choice of heuristic but there no reason to make ioctl more ugly than needed.
