how can the user space program distinguish the "good informational parameters" from the  "bad default legacy parameters"? There can be other user space programs other than thunk.

what if the user space program doing pulling mode, it can pull the args changes because ioctl is usually slower, our code should be robust.

usually the return code provides enough information for the user space programs.
