drm_ioctl() allows for the encoding to be changed and attributes that only the
appropriate size is copied in/out of the kernel.

Technically the function is more relaxed relative to the vmwgfx check, yet
seems perfectly reasonable.

Is there any corner-case that isn't but should be handled in drm_ioctl()?
