Now, yes. I assume that the (Linux kernel internal) ioctl() Code was
here long before the netlink code.
And since there is the quite (read: the rule is 100% there and usually
enforced, there is just the usual "slight" chance of bugs and "nobody
knew") holy rule to *not* break user-space, I would expect that it
behaves now like it behaves in Linux 0.* when it was thrown into the
Linux kernel.

Yup, have to try.
