[PATCH] new ioctl type checking causes gcc warning

[Kevin P. Fleming]

Submitted by: Kevin P. Fleming (kpfleming at cox dot net)
Date: 2003-09-12
Initial Package Version: 2.6.0-test5
Origin: Kevin P. Fleming (kpfleming at cox dot net)
Description: The definition of __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC is signed,
             which causes an signed/unsigned comparison error to be
             emitted by GCC (at least for 3.3.1).
