[PATCH 11/11] spufs: Use a system call instead of ioctl

[Arnd Bergmann]

This patch makes it possible to use a system call instead of
an ioctl to run spu code on spufs.

This is mostly for review, to see how ugly it gets. I personally
don't like the ioctl implementation very much, but haven't
come up with the best solution. The system call doesn't appear
to be much better than ioctl here.

One other solution that I haven't implemented yet would be an
interface that returns a struct { __u32 npc; __u32 status; };
with the help of a read system call and uses lseek to update
the npc value. That would require some knowledge about
status code in the kernel if we want to avoid calling lseek
every time an SPU does a callback that returns to the owning
thread.
