Thanks.
And indeed, I don't use ioctl()s as of yet. All in all, I filled the
code with ugly "if (catastrophe) return -EIO;" (more or less) and got
the desired effect: Applications complain about "I/O Error", which is at
least not misleading.

IOCTL are not documented, as they cannot be documented. This is an
open interface between specific user space program and specific kernel
code, and anything goes there. I don't think that's what Eli was
aiming for, however.
