Bug description:
  We have seen some reports of these scarey messages appearing, across
  various of our releases.  Looking at the upstream discussion we should
  expect something official to come down probabally from Al Viro.  As we
  are about to hit kernel freeze it seems appropriate to stick something
  in to cover the worst of the offenders.

  I have confirmed that the 32bit compat ioctl numbers for tapes are
  correct for precise. (apw)
