Well, I did all the necessary changes - but the result stayed the same; so
I did some more debugging and got to the following results:

- 32-bit ioctls on sparc64, parisc, s390x, ppc64, x86_64 won't work with
the current coda-kernel-code, since compat_sys_ioctl needs the ioctls to
be registered using register_ioctl32_conversion
- I added those calls and the necessary conversion-function to psdev.c -
registering _VICEIOCTL(0) - _VICEIOCTL(255)
- that didn't help either, since the size-part of the ioctl-cmd is
modified in kerndep/pioctl.c - and thus the registered ioctls are useless.

So my question is: Why is this modification necessary? Couldn't _VICEIOCTL
simply be modified to use "struct PioctlData" instead of "struct
ViceIoctl"?
