Unfortunately I do not follow you completely...
My concern is that someone maybe want to implement an ioctl which
falls in the same range. As long as the ioctl is not in a range of
ioctls of a normal linux kernel, it is fine for me. If in doubt, add a
kernel option to either enable or disable (I'm not sure what makes
more sense) the FreeBSD-usb-forward-part.
Bye,
Alexander.
