Yes, unfortunatly it seems that R5 ioctl() is broken on this topic, and 
always return 
B_ERROR (-1) when the driver control hook return a negative value...

Even Howard Berkley hit this bug. Look at the structure he use to 
communicate between BONE lobsocket.so and his /dev/net/api BONE driver:

----------8<-----------------------------
typedef struct socket_ioctl
{
        int     rc;
        int family;
        int type;
        int proto;
} socket_ioctl_t;
-----------8<---------------------------

We can bet that this first 'rc' field, present in all *_ioctl 
structures used, stands for 'result code'.
Let follow his solution...
