Oh, certainly. These things happen :)

Sure, it looks like that will work. From the perspective of OpenAFS and
other AFS implementations, it is a little annoying to have to make a
special case for Hurd for the ioctl number if and when Hurd support is
added... but I'd expect a lot of things to require Hurd special-cases,
anyway.

Will this be sent to Heimdal upstream, btw? This probably would have
gotten noticed sooner if this had been sent there, and I don't know if
they have opinions on this.
