------------------------------------------------------
Subject: generalize asm-generic/ioctl.h to allow overriding values
From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In the spirit of a number of other asm-generic header files,
generalize asm-generic/ioctl.h to allow arch-specific ioctl.h headers
to simply override _IOC_SIZEBITS and/or _IOC_DIRBITS before including
this header file, allowing a number of ioctl.h header files to be
shortened considerably.
