With DocBook, all ioctls, including the references, were <constant>.
So, they all display the same way, no matter if they're a reference or
not. However, with ReST, it is *either* a constant or a reference. So,
if you use ``foo`` or :ref:`foo`, the fonts used will be different, with
causes, IMHO, an ugly output, as it violates the font convention used
within the document.

With regards to DocBook, this was really messy. I've seen the same ioctl
represented there in three ways, sometimes, even at the same file.
Just to get a random example:
        
Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/io.xml:<link 
linkend="vidioc-querybuf">VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</link>, <link
Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/io.xml:<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant>
Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/vidioc-querybuf.xml:      
<para>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</para>

(You'll see lot of other cases were not even <constant> were used...
Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/v4l2.xml is lot of such cases)

We should stick with just *one* typographic convention, and not randomly
change it along the document.

It looks really ugly when we change the typographic convention for ioctls
like what this patch does.

Regards

Thanks,
Mauro
