The R/W interface is needed for backward compat, so we don't really
have a choice (well, it could go in for long term deprecation, but I
found in SCSI that "long term" == "never"). I think no-one objects to
the ioctl interface ... it's just no-one feels strongly enough to build
and test it. I'm sure if you send patches, Jarkko will include them.
