that it does not need compat support.The compat_ioctl handler just casts the compat_ptr, I believe this should be done unless the ioctl is globaly registered in fs/compat_ioctl.c, but I might be wrong.
You shouldn't need a compat ioctl for anything new that is added, unless your api is really messed up. Please test to be sure, and not use a compat ioctl at all, it isn't that hard to do. thanks, greg k-h
