This restores the changes from "scsi/i2o_block: cleanup ioctl
handling", which accidentally got reverted.

Origignal changelog:
This fixes the ioctl function of the i2o_block driver, which
has multiple problems:

* The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return
-ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0.
* Support for 32 bit compat is missing
* The driver should use the .ioctl function and because
.locked_ioctl is going away.

The use of the big kernel lock remains for now, but gets
made explictit in the ioctl function.

Jens, this is the commit that went missing due to my broken rebase.
Please either apply on top of you for-next branch or fold into
"block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl", which reverted the change.
