No, I discovered that TIOCSERGSTRUCT will return it, so I don't need to
add the other ioctl. Of course, if someone messes with the structure and
moves things around any existing binary will need recompiling; but I
don't see this as a user facility, more of an admin one, so that's ok.

in linux.dev.kernel, in fact the kernel reflector has gone ominously
quiet..
