Subject[PATCH] no TIOCSBRK/TIOCCBRK in ia32 emulation on amd64
In ia32 emulation, the amd64 kernel refuses the ioctls TIOCSBRK
and TIOCCBRK with EINVAL. I've attached a patch that adds them to
the compatibility list.

Since all architectures have these ioctls ("m68knommu" inherits
them from "m68k", "um" from its host) and use the same code, I
think adding them to compat_ioctl.h is the correct choice (as
opposed to adding them to arch/x86_64/ia32/ia32_ioctl.c).

The patch is for 2.6.9. I've observed the problem the first time
in 2.6.7.
