Eh?  You just changed ioctl values breaking ABI all over the place, e.g. 
sys/pioctl.h.  The size field changed from 0 to sizeof(int) meaning different 
ioctl values and thus ABI breakage.  Plus, what if you have:

	struct foo {
		int bar;
	};

#define FOOIO	_IOW('y', 0, struct foo)

that's going to have the same issue isn't it?  This really just looks like a 
big hack and it doesn't help with ABI compat at all. :(

I think instead the various ioctl handlers have to realize that for IOC_VOID 
ioctls declared using _IO() data is a (caddr_t *), not an (int *) (the uap 
struct for ioctl clearly defines data as a caddr_t).  Fix whatever crap you 
have to in the kernel to deal with it, but don't change the userland ABI. :(
