Correct. For now we are just using 0xa0 and 0xa1, and eventually we
might need more ioctls numbers.

I got these numbers finding a unused block and having some room for
expansion, as suggested by Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst,
that says:

	If you are writing a driver for a new device and need a letter, pick an
	unused block with enough room for expansion: 32 to 256 ioctl commands.
