Excuse my ignorance, but what's the difference between UFFDIO_WAKE and UFFDIO_WAKE_SYNC_EVENT?
UFFDIO_WAKE is used when UFFDIO_COPY/UFFDIO_ZERO page are used with
UFFDIO_*_MODE_DONTWAKE flag set and it presumes 'struct uffdio_range'
argument to the ioctl(). Since waking up a non page fault event requires
different parameters I've add new ioctl to keep backwards compatibility.
