NAK. We don't want to spam the kernel log with cryptic error messages 
every time ioctl functions fail. Please leave this as a dev_dbg message. 
Failing ioctl functions could be perfectly normal for a number of 
reasons (system call interrupted by signal, running out of event slots, 
timeouts on event waiting, etc). But every bug report will incorrectly 
blame any unrelated problem on those messages if they happen to appear 
in the kernel log.
