oh wait, just let me add for 2.6 kernels that if you are using 64 bit 
userspace and 64 bit kernels then it should work. If you are using 32 
bit userspace and 64 bit kernels then we need some compat ioctl code. 
That is in some versions (like in the 4.0 cvs tree, and SUSE rpms), but 
not in the main cvs tree or the tarballs.
