I was about to complain as well. Device specific IOCTLs should probably 
better defined as operation on the device which takes the DMA-Buf file 
descriptor as a parameter.

If you really need this (which I doubt) then please define a range of 
IOCTL numbers for which it should apply.

Regards,
Christian.
