    Documentation: document ioctl interfaces better · 8ce156de
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    Documentation/process/botching-up-ioctls.rst was orignally written as
    a blog post for DRM driver writers, so it it misses some points while
    going into a lot of detail on others.
    
    Try to provide a replacement that addresses typical issues across a wider
    range of subsystems, and follows the style of the core-api documentation
    better.
    
    Many improvements to the document are suggested by Ben Hutchings
    <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>, Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> and
    Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>.
