I'd be inclined to agree with you. After all, the alternative for these
devices is to emulate the standard tty-based devices, which also involves
kernel bloat.
ISDN already does a fairly complete Hayes emulation, which can be found in
drivers/isdn/isdn_tty.c
The Hayes-emulation may still be necessary until the applications start using
the new ioctls, but IMHO the emulation should be done in user-space, not by
the kernel.
