    Once upon a time net/socket.c:dev_ifsioc() used to handle SIOCSHWTSTAMP and
    SIOCSIFMAP.  These have different native and compat layout, so the format
    conversion had been needed.  In 2009 these two cases had been taken out,
    turning the rest into a convoluted way to calling sock_do_ioctl().  We copy
    compat structure into native one, call sock_do_ioctl() on that and copy
    the result back for the in/out ioctls.  No layout transformation anywhere,
    so we might as well just call sock_do_ioctl() and skip all the headache with
    copying.
