Subject[PATCH][RFC] Make asm-generic/ioctl.h extensible by adding conditionals.

Add some preprocessor checking to asm-generic/ioctl.h to allow other
ioctl.h headers to simply override what are normally trivial
differences.

Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@mindspring.com>

---

as a followup to my earlier post, is it worth making this change to
allow at least a couple arch-specific ioctl.h files to be massively
simplified?
