A better name would be VTPM_IOC_MAGIC. You should also update
Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt.

If I look at other subsystems like drm the common practice is either
name the ioctl as VTPM_NEW_DEV_IOCTL or VTPM_IOC_NEW_DEV and not have
suffix or postfix in the parameter struct. I would just copy that
convention here.
