What about SIOCGLIFFLAGS ?

I just tried to pkgrm the xVM (b91) packages, on a machine
that is running recent opensolaris bits.  And this caught my
attention:

# pkgrm SUNWvirtinst SUNWurlgrabber SUNWlibvirt SUNWxvmhvm SUNWxvmh SUNWxvmu 
SUNWxvmr SUNWxvmdomu SUNWxvmdomr

Folgendes Package ist derzeit installiert:
   SUNWvirtinst    virt-install
                   (i386) 11.11,REV=2008.06.06.18.11

Wollen Sie dieses Package entfernen? [y,n,?,q] y
SIOCGLIFFLAGS: Ungültiges Argument
SIOCGLIFFLAGS: Ungültiges Argument

(Sorry, for the german massages; it's complaining about "SIOCGLIFFLAGS: invalid 
argument")

And a quick check with this test program shows
that the ioctl request code has changed from
c0786975 -> c1786975, and that sizeof(lifreq) == 376

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <sys/sockio.h>

main()
{
        printf("%x\n", SIOCGLIFFLAGS);
        printf("%d\n", sizeof(struct lifreq));
}
