I don't like that the ioctl lifetime struct is passed through

is not to be a passthrough interface. The kernel should define a proper
UABI struct for the ioctl and handle endianness conversion. But I think
Michael is happy with this approach, so nevermind.

Does something include <linux/ioctl.h> for _IOR()? Failure to include
the necessary header file could break userspace applications that
include <linux/virtio_blk.h>.
