Arnd Bergmann b9067f5dc4 net: split out SIOCDEVPRIVATE handling from dev_ioctl ... SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl commands are mainly used in really old drivers, and they have a number of problems: - They hide behind the normal .ndo_do_ioctl function that is also used for other things in modern drivers, so it's hard to spot a driver that actually uses one of these - Since drivers use a number different calling conventions, it is impossible to support compat mode for them in a generic way. - With all drivers using the same 16 commands codes, there is no way to introspect the data being passed through things like strace. Add a new net_device_ops callback pointer, to address the first two of these. Separating them from .ndo_do_ioctl makes it easy to grep for drivers with a .ndo_siocdevprivate callback, and the unwieldy name hopefully makes it easier to spot in code review. By passing the ifreq structure and the ifr_data pointer separately, it is no longer necessary to overload these, and the driver can use either one for a given command.
