I was able to do it. I used the "special" facility. It looks quite
generic. I've only tested type IOW and type IOR ioctls at this point,
but they seem to work...

In the main ioctl table in ioctl_table.h, you need

    { CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, _NEW_IOWRS(CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS), },

(delegate to the special mechanism)

and in the special table at the end of the file


    { _NEW_IOWRS(CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS), _NEW_IOWT(CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS,int), },

(if it indeed writes an int directly, and assigns significance
to the return value).
