Unfortunately, in -mm2 version, it seems that once a driver
implements compat_ioctl, the standard ioctls like FIOQSIZE
stop working for it, and so
do standard commands implemented with COMPATIBLE_IOCTL.

The simplest solution is, I think, to do as Arnd Bergmann suggested,
and go back to the hash lookup if compat_ioctl returns -ENOIOCTLCMD.

To make it easy to use the same function for unlocked_ioctl
and for ioctl_compat, for unlocked_ioctl the code -ENOIOCTLCMD
shall be translated to -EINVAL.

Attached patch is for -mm2, applies over 2.6.10 as well with 
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.10/2.6.10-mm2/broken-out/ioctl-rework-2.patch

MST

Handle generic ioctl commands by falling back on static
conversion functions in fs/compat_ioctl.c on -ENOIOCTLCMD code.
