This may be a kernel in transition thing, or perhaps
a util-linux has to change.

In 2.5.1-pre2:

/usr/src# elvtune /dev/hda
ioctl get: Inappropriate ioctl for device

/usr/src# nm linux-2.5.1-pre1/vmlinux|grep elv.*ioctl
c0187400 T blkelvget_ioctl
c01874b0 T blkelvset_ioctl

/usr/src# nm linux-2.5.1-pre2/vmlinux|grep elv.*ioctl
/usr/src#

Recompiling util-linux-2.11m with or without the new elevator.h
doesn't change elvtune's output.

..

2.5.1-pre2 passes 11 Linux Test Project "personality" tests
that are broken in 2.5.1-pre1 and 2.4.16.

THis program is obsolete on 2.5.1-pre2. The elevator handling changed
much.
