The problem with the current ioctl handler is that it is very Alpha-linux 
specific, which is based on the Tru64 syscall handler.  So the way the 
code is now, we'd either have to special case the Alpha code, or else 
provide defines for IOCTL values that don't exist on any other Linux 
version (mainly the weird BSD tty ioctls).  So not something that's 
impossible to fix, just something that requires some work to do properly.
