re-use the codes for the TIOC* ioctls on x86 or ARM.

Eitehr works for
me, but if we go with the prior, the definitions can just be put in
src/kern/linux/linux.hh.

were copied and pasted from another architecture, and then a couple of
them were changed to be ARM specific. Marc On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 1:05

That's not confusing at all :-P. Gabe On 05/13/12 21:46, Steve Reinhardt
