In article <20474.1292802725@splode.eterna.com.au>,

That would change the ABI on _LP64 systems that don't pass the first 3
arguments in registers. We don't have any yet. On the other hand we are
not planning to change ioctl like this for no good reason (and we would
break standards compliance). I just changed the man pages to be consistent
with the implementation.
