Does that make sense for the first version? I agree that we should use #define to allow #ifdef for when we add more ioctls in the future, but these ioctls will always exist... The nice thing about enums is of course that it helps with debugging as gdb can show the string representation rather than the number, because in contrast to #defines, an enum is something the compliler knows about.
