FYI: this change was made *five* *years* ago. I'm not sure what
the rationale was, but it certainly wasn't a recent "on a lark" change.
FWIW, the one Linux driver I wrote doesn't include <sys/ioctl.h>
either--it uses <linux/ioctl.h>. FWIW, it's an LKM.
This non-committer will sit down and shut up now.
