There’s a better way to do this.  People have been wanting larger names to
be merged into 12.x and 11.x, and that was going to be hard with how I
originally did this.  Your compat shim doesn’t make it any easier.  What I was
going to do was return the ioctl in HEAD to the original size, and create a new
ioctl for the larger size,  That would fix the compatibility issue (since we don’t
support a newer userland on an older kernel) and make it possible to merge
to -stable branches.  I’d like to revert this commit and go in that direction.
