   We went through this same discussion involving the wdog wdparm_t type some 
time back.  There was a Rube Goldberg-ish proposal to copy all of the data into 
an array of type wdparm_t instead of passing varargs to avoid varying sizes of 
arguments.
   
   Instead, I said that it was the caller's resposibility to cast each argument 
to wdparm_t.  We can enforce that casting inside of the OS, but we cannot 
enforce that casting across the POSIX ioctl interface.
