Ok, with my idea not being suitable I think I'm fine with this approach, a
little nitpick below:

No need for the inner braces. But I'm actually not sure the current
code structure is very suitable for extending it.

So maybe for this check we should have a is_ctrl_iocl() helper instead
that includes the is_sed_ioctl check.

And then we can move this whole branch into a helper function,
which then switches on the ioctl cmd, with sed_ioctl as the fallback.
