Yes but it seems that you've assumed that ioctl == flagged taskfile
and fs/internal == normal taskfile which is _not_ what I aim for.

I want fully-flagged taskfile handling like flagged_taskfile() and "hot path"
simpler taskfile handling like do_rw_taskfile() (at least for now - we can
remove "hot path" later) where both can be used for fs/internal/ioctl requests
(depending on the flags).

We can check this later.

s/pio/PIO/

This version look perfect, at least from IDE driver POV. :-)
