Given that read/write don't work under O_PATH, I wouldn't expect ioctls
to work either.

I tried to write a two line program to call FSGEOMETRY to see what
actually happens but got so bogged down in trying to figure out what
magic incantation of C headers one needs to pull in the appropriate
structure typedefs for an ioctl I wasn't even trying to call that I gave
up.

Seriously, what the f*ck do you have to #include just to be able to use
O_PATH?
