I'll audit the list of ioctls and remove ones that may be objectionable, and we'll go back through them after 2.6.22 and add back in ones that are actually required. Keep the API/ABI small and expand if necessary. What's the timeframe required here? Linville said a few days at the most.
Ideally, before 2.6.22-rc1. No set date, but generally it's a week or two after merge window opens.
But even if you miss -rc1, we MUST get in the ioctl removal before 2.6.22 release. This is certainly exception to the "nothing but bug fixes" rule -- or perhaps it is following the rule, if you consider the ioctls' existence a bug :)
Getting the CodingStyle fixes in before 2.6.22-rc1 would be nice, but, as I noted, lower priority than serious stuff like ioctl consideration.
