I'm not sure such a dire view is warrented.. 

The ioctl situation is not so bad, other than a few special cases,
most drivers just take a 'void __user *' and pass it as an argument to
some function that accepts a 'void __user *'. sparse et al verify
this. 

As long as the core functions do the right thing the drivers will be
OK.

The only place things get dicy is if someone casts to unsigned long
(ie for vma work) but I think that reflects that our driver facing
APIs for VMAs are compatible with static analysis (ie I have no
earthly idea why get_user_pages() accepts an unsigned long), not that
this is too hard.
