It looks like some ioctl interfaces also request loff_t in their
official usage, so musl should do something to ensure it's exposed for
ioctl. I'm not sure however what the best way is. Simply adding
#define loff_t off_t
to sys/ioctl.h is not sufficient because off_t might not be defined,
so another header would need to be included to get off_t. Note that
sys/ioctl.h is not under the domain of any modern standard, so it
would not be a horrible offense to make it include extra junk if we
need to..

OK, I'll take a look.

MAP_LOCKED is a Linux extension to mmap that somehow never got added
to musl when the others were added. Its definition probably varies
per-arch. I'll see if I can get somebody to find what's needed to add
it correctly for all archs.
