Ciro Santilli 六四事件 法轮功 ca231b82f6 get rid of lkmc package, move userland and kernel-modules to top
Rationale: we already had a non buildroot build system,
maintaining both will be hard, and having short paths is more awesome.

* However, the ioctl syscall highjacks several low values at do_vfs_ioctl, e.g.
* This "forces" use to use the _IOx macros...

* Some of those magic low values are used for fnctl, which can also be used on regular files:
* e.g. FIOCLEX for close-on-exec:

* TODO are the W or R of _IOx and type functional, or only to help with uniqueness?

* Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt documents:

* ....
* _IO an ioctl with no parameters
* _IOW an ioctl with write parameters (copy_from_user)
* _IOR an ioctl with read parameters (copy_to_user)
* _IOWR an ioctl with both write and read parameters.
