This is a "tiny" patch, yet I think it needs to be broken up more, as
you are mixing a few different things in the same patch, and you forgot
one big thing...

Why would you want to make this a build option? Why would you ever
_not_ want this?

Why are you mixing the bus/driver changes in with the addition of the
ioctl? That should be broken out into the "first" patch of this series,
to make the addition of the ioctl easier to see and review.

"struct mc_command" is not defined as a structure that can cross the
user/kernel boundry at all. At the least it is not in a public uapi
header file. It also does not use the correct variable types, and it is
a very generic name for a global kernel structure that the whole world
is now going to be able to see.

Please fix all of that up first, before adding the ioctl itself :)

are you doing correct error and validation checking of this
user-provided structure? Remember, you can not trust this data at all.

All input is evil.
