Yup, makes sense. I like the idea :). Gets rid of all the useless paddings and reserved fields. We could even truncate the structs that already have paddings in them if we only copy min(sizeof(real_struct), ioctl_passed_size); (which we should anyways).


No, we can't change anything that is already out. If will change the ioctl numbers, so building against new headers but running against an old kernel will fail.

How long until we get a patch set? :)

Well, I'd really like to get the qemu memory API out first.
