Can't you at least add a comment about what was there ? It's quite annoying to come across :
#define FOO 1 #define BAR 2 #define BAZ 5
and have no idea why
It happens all the time. Hundreds of cases.
I prefer a short and clean actual kernel source, and long historical explanations somewhere else, for example in Documentation/ioctl_list.
(Michael Elizabeth Chastain made ioctl_list.2 a man page, but nobody keeps it up-to-date. The current version is from 1.3.27. I am updating it and expect to submit it for the Documentation directory. Maybe more people will update it there.)
