IOCTLs are idiosyncratic calls. The Linux IOCTL numbers are (supposed to be) defined in a quite convoluted (Linux-native, as far as I know) way to catch mistakes "and programs compiled with old versions" (see include/asm-i386/ioctl.h, dated 1993). This is extremely unlikely to come (directly) from anywhere else. Verbatim copying is total nonsense.
