Please don't apply this patch. In general, many ioctls aren't
implemented in mainline drivers, because most if not all supported
devices inside the kernel tree are either PCI or USB add-in devices and
usually quite simple compared to a STB.

This ioctl is used at least by enigma2 in userspace and implemented in
drivers for several generations of the dreambox.
