commit e10cc1df1d2014f68a4bdcf73f6dd122c4561f94
Author: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu May 10 22:22:50 2007 -0700

    tty: add compat_ioctl
    
    Add compat_ioctl method for tty code to allow processing of 32 bit ioctl
    calls on 64 bit systems by tty core, tty drivers, and line disciplines.
    
    Based on patch by Arnd Bergmann:
