This way you won't end up having to jump over sequence numbers eventually reserved by others within the '*' code.

At first I had all, but then thought we would never use all of that sequence. We'll likely want a few more for libside integration. Maybe I'll grab the first 16, that should leave a lot for others and give us quite bit of growing room. How many do you think we'll need for libside? I think we'd only need 2-3 personally.

The user events trace subsystem uses the 0x2A/'*' code for ioctls. These are published via the uapi/linux/user_events.h header file. Add a line indicating user events as the owner of the 0x2A/'*' code and the current sequence numbers that are in use (00-02).
