sundance: SIOCDEVPRIVATE pollution

To quote one of my favorite contemporary author:
[include/linux/sockios.h]
 *      THESE IOCTLS ARE _DEPRECATED_ AND WILL DISAPPEAR IN 2.5.X -DaveM
 */

#define SIOCDEVPRIVATE  0x89F0  /* to 89FF */

[...]

Gentoo's snmpd trips up over this code when trying to figure if the driver
supports the non-SIOCDEVPRIVATE API or not.  One can argue over its choice
of heuristic but there no reason to make ioctl more ugly than needed.
