This 'u' value should be documented in
Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst.

and if possible, you might want to use values like 0x5x or 0x8x
that don't conflict with the ioctl numbers that are already used
in the 'u' space.

Thanks Randy. I think I was trying to say "based on ramfs *plus* the dax
support from xfs. But I'll try to come up with something more clear than
that...

Will do, thanks. And I'll check the whole code base for other instances;
I won't be surprise if I was sloop about that in more than one place.

Will do. I was trying to be too clever there, invoking "mu" for
micron.
