The nice thing about enums is of course that it helps with debugging
as gdb can show the string representation rather than the number,
because in contrast to #defines, an enum is something the compliler
knows about.

This doesn't get passed as an enum in user space though, and when debugging
the kernel it only helps within one function.

Hmm, this is the header exported to userspace, so having enums in would
make our lives easier, right?

Hence, for now, I'd propose we keep it the way it is, and add new ioctls
with defines once they are implemented. Are you okay with this? I'll add
a comment to the file to give a heads-up.
