You should test it... I guess there is a bug on this version :-)

Nitpick: either use:
	/*
	 *...
	 */

or add the arguments to the macro there, as /** ... */ expects
the arguments. Same for other comments below.

I guess it should be, instead:

	    || _IOC_SIZE(user_cmd) > _IOC_SIZE(info->cmd))

The hole idea is that the struct sizes used by ioctls can monotonically
increase as newer fields become needed, but never decrease.

Assuming that, _IOC_SIZE(MEDIA_IOC_foo) will give the size of the
latest version of an ioctl supported by a given Kernel version,
while alt_arg_sizes will list smaller sizes from previous
Kernel versions that will also be accepted, in order to make it
backward-compatible with apps compiled against older Kernel headers.

However, if an application is compiled with a kernel newer than
the current one, it should fail, as an older Kernel doesn't know
how to handle the newer fields. So, it should be up to the userspace
app to add backward-compatible code if it needs to support older
Kernels.

(perhaps it should be worth adding a comment like the above
somewhere).
