Btw when I mentioned ioctls I meant more than radeon, all the KMS
ioctls in the common drm_crtc.c file suffer from this problem as well.

Hence why I still believe either my drm specific inline or something
more generic (granted I can see why a generic solution would be ugly).

You patch below does suffer from a lot of #ifdefs and cut-n-paste
that is a lot better suited to doing in an inline or macro. We can then
comment that inline saying if anyone else does this we will be most
unhappy.
