You forgot to check that all other bits in that flag are set to 0
properly, otherwise you can never add a new bit to the field ever as you
can't expect userspace got it right and did not accidentaly set it
already.

There is kernel documentation on how to add a new ioctl, you might want
to read up on that first before resending this.
