The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it
keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian --
but is strangely absent from mainstream.
The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the
target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't
appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early
enough. Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO... macros as
constants fails without this patch.

In the spirit of a number of other asm-generic header files,
generalize asm-generic/ioctl.h to allow arch-specific ioctl.h headers
to simply override _IOC_SIZEBITS and/or _IOC_DIRBITS before including
this header file, allowing a number of ioctl.h header files to be
shortened considerably.

Most arches copied the i386 ioctl.h. Combine them into a generic header.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
