Currently the spec says that the driver will zero the reserved array. No mention
is made of the application having to zero it. This means that drivers cannot rely
on what is in the pad field since apps can leave it uninitialized.

If we keep that behavior, then the text has to change as follows:

s/applications must set this field to zero/this field is ignored/

However, should be keep that behavior? This ioctl is still marked as experimental,
so perhaps we should change the spec to require that reserved should be zeroed by
applications as well. I'm not certain, to be honest.

This needs to change to:

"Drivers and applications must set the array to zero."

The description section for this ioctl clearly states that applications must zero the array,
so this field description is not correct.
