Is this not the one I want as it's a call from vidcontrol(1) I want
to follow?

Doh! now I realized why I missed it when I grep'd the whole tree;
I'm used to putting the return type on the same line, not the
previous line, so just seeing:
./kern/sys_generic.c:391: ioctl(p, uap)
it looks like a call (OK, if it was it would have a trailing ``;'',
but that is easy to miss in several hundred lines of output).
Thanks anyway for the info.
