    Reserving a generous ioctl range without any clear interface will make
    some people nervous. If you can not specify the interface now, try to
    separate the generic/specific part of it and use sub-ioctl for the really
    scary things as it will make the future life easier.

    If you have some pointers to the existing code, that may help too.
