Why not. :P Anyway, calling the old ioctl code if the new one fails, should be compatible enough. (and the new structure contains the old one, so no need of having 2 variables). It would be even better if somebody finds out what the error for not supported function is (I don't feel like checking 16000 error codes), but it is not critical.
