We're in usespace here ... I think it would be better to use uint64_t
instead of the kernel-type __u64.

That "!!" sounds somewhat wrong here. I think you either want to check
for "ioctl() == 1" (because only in this case you can be sure that v2
is supported), or you can simply omit the "!!" because you're 100% sure
that the ioctl only returns 0 or 1 (and never a negative error code).
