Kernel will get garbage from old binaries, and kernel will break user space if it tries to get params into old structure.The only application that I know of does a memset on the structure so it'll be fine. Are you aware of any user-space applications that initialises every field explicitly instead of using memset?
Never mind, I see what you mean now. I suppose change the ioctl names/numbers is the easiest way now. I'd love to use netlink but that seems to require a lot of infrastructure which isn't there currently.
