Description
Per PSARC 2008/348, we should change the value of IOCPARM_MASK to allow for ioctl encoding of argument sizes greater than 255 bytes.  This matches common practice on Linux, FreeBSD, etc.  Note that this change has zero impact on any subsystems, except allows for more correct parameter checks in perl and reporting in truss.  No binary incompatibilities are introduced.
