Modules of common subsystems already support the same ioctl structs where this makes sense. Any mechanism replacing ioctls would only change the way you call it, it cannot reduce the inherent differences between modules. Well, one could use D-Bus or some generic property / key-value system, but this would only be generic on the surface.
