It is actually not hard to support both using the macros in my patch. The code that's needed to add ioctl32 support to each driver is identical. Everything is controlled inside the macros. (Theoretically new kernels can support the old method but the new one is much more elegant and reduces the risk of introducing accidental root holes).
