Patch stable/9 and ask re@ and so@ for an EN.  Remember to bump
__FreeBSD_version.  As far as I can tell, the package builders skip the
version checks, so the c6 packages are already available.  In fact, they
are even the default, which is probably not intentional.

That would be really hard, as ioctls can vary from platform to platform,
and drivers can add ioctls to the system.  The best you can do is ask
users to report Linux applications that complain about missing ioctls,
and keep a list of which ioctls they complain about.
