If you want something right now that works, so you can continue doing
your backups, python-btrfs also has the ioctl, since v9, together with
an example of using it:

https://github.com/knorrie/python-btrfs/commit/1ace623f95300ecf581b1182780fd6432a46b24d

P.S. even when coding it in C, the documentation in that commit message
might be useful. :)
