Pardon my ignorance, but we've always been told that adding
new ioctl()s to the kernel is a very big no-no. But given
the seniority of the folks stewarding this kdbus effort,
there must be a good rationale ;-)
So, can the rationale behind introducing new ioctl()s be
further explained? It would be even better if it's included
in the documentation patch itself.
Thanks,
Darwish
