Ugh, no.

1) The structure is defined as rocket _internal-only_.
2) It changed many times over time (whenever tty_port was changed at least).
3) Differs depending on various CONFIG_* options.

I seriously doubt anybody used the ioctl, ever. (What size would they
pass, so that copy_to_user won't fail?)

So now, I am in favor of killing the ioctl completely. We also never
exposed the ioctl number to userspace.
