    Paul Gortmaker <p_gortmaker@yahoo.com>: ENOTTY for nvram ioctl:
       ioctl(d, valid, crap) --> -EINVAL
       ioctl(d, crap, ....)  --> -ENOTTY
    
      man ioctl agrees:
    
             ENOTTY The specified request does not apply to the kind of
                    object that the descriptor d references.
    
      Currently we return -EINVAL for both cases which is not as
      informative for debugging stuff.
    
      Patch is for 2.5.6 but applies cleanly (with minor offset) to 2.4.19p2
    
      Paul.
