The original patch was against 2.1.81-pre1; the TIOCGSID #define made it
into 2.1.81 final.

Are there historical reasons why linux-MIPS uses radically different ioctl
numbers from those of the other linux ports? I think there's only 8
ioctls that have the same values in linux-MIPS and linux-x86/m68k/ARM...
