Where's the flags field for feature versioning? Please don't tell me
we merged an ioctl structure without a flags or version field in
it...

"the index of"....
"The number of" is easily confused with a quantity....
Is this an input or an output?

The length of the AG is returned in this field, in units....
Same for the rest...

It would be better to say "all reserved feilds will be set to zero
on return" so that we don't have to change this every time we rev
the structure....
