I can do any one, or multiple things from the following options:

- disable the existing ioctl to return an error so that no new userspace program starts to use it thinking it is valid - accept Werner's patch for those who like proc files - accept Kay's patch

Any suggestions?

Maybe this is not so surprising, but I definitely want item #3 from the list.

I am against #2, since #1 is a much nicer solution, and having both would be needlessly redundant.

And #1 would be a good idea.
