I want to avoid modifying an existing IOCTL, I'll add a new ioctl and update the tools to use the extension IOCTL and split the header file also. Also I found that user space tools have replicated BLK_XX_XXX definitions, will be okay to keep all those in one place and include those from the appropriate header file ?
