So, we could create a block-general lifetime ioctl with many reserved bytes, or create a virtio block specific ioctl without reserved bytes at all. I think that we should keep it virtio specific, and if a new lifetime command is added to the spec with more fields, we could create a new ioctl. Does Everyone agree?

I think the kernel should deal with endianness here. I'm not sure how to proceed with the endianness matter..
