please rather do it right, than have __u64 odd-aligned.

an while we are at it, use a unified prefix ioctl struct,
which includes the api version, device id and result fields,
and only then the specific data.  halfes our ioctls, since the api
version now can be verified with each ioctl, and has other advantages
as well...
