+/**
+ * DOC: General ioctl format
+ *
+ * The ioctl interface follows a general format to allow for extensibility. Each
+ * ioctl is passed a structure pointer as the argument providing the size of
+ * the structure in the first u32. The kernel checks that any structure space
+ * beyond what it understands is 0. This allows userspace to use the backward
+ * compatible portion while consistently using the newer, larger, structures.
+ *
+ * ioctls use a standard meaning for common errnos:
+ *
+ *  - ENOTTY: The IOCTL number itself is not supported at all
+ *  - E2BIG: The IOCTL number is supported, but the provided structure has
+ *    non-zero in a part the kernel does not understand.
+ *  - EOPNOTSUPP: The IOCTL number is supported, and the structure is
+ *    understood, however a known field has a value the kernel does not
+ *    understand or support.
+ *  - EINVAL: Everything about the IOCTL was understood, but a field is not
+ *    correct.
+ *  - ENOMEM: Out of memory.
+ *  - ENODEV: The underlying device has been hot-unplugged and the FD is
+ *            orphaned.
+ *
+ * As well as additional errnos, within specific ioctls.
