I'd like to see something else for sure.  We're trying to do AER
piecemeal but this ioctl leaves no room for anything else.  Seems like a
soon to be wasted ioctl number.  Note that there isn't even a de-assign
interface, nor a flag to set to indicate de-assignment.  The SET_IRQ
ioctl already handles these in a very similar way to how we'd want to
handle it for error signaling.  It doesn't seem like that much of a
stretch to me to include it there, but I'd also entertain other ideas.
Thanks,

Alex
