Could you include a compat_ioctl() callback in the example?
I think it would be good to include it as a reminder for
authors of actual drivers that every driver implementing
ioctl should also implement compat_ioctl. In C drivers, this
can usually be done by pointing .compat_ioctl() to the
generic compat_ptr_ioctl() function, which assumes that 'arg'
is a pointer disguised as an 'unsigned long'.
