As Hannu (author) said, version which we currently have broken in several places and they fixed in v3.0. I think we need go to v3.0 instead of hacking broken code. Compatibility: Hannu said: "only source level compatibility". This one ioctl is only small piece, there is many incompatible places, old binaries must be definitely re-compiled. -- Andrey A.
