Please see Documentation/core-api/ioctl.rst
All ioctl interfaces should be written in a portable way that works with
compat user space and avoids all padding in order to not leak kernel
data into user space.
If the driver is passing video buffers for transcoding, shouldn't the driver
use the existing drivers/media interfaces for that? If it needs features
that are not present there, they can probably be added.
