Its not only problem of ciss driver, there are also some twa/twe headers with ioctl structure not installed in the base. Its not a problem for the smartmontools, because we are including required defines in the sources (there are not too much of them, less then in ciss case). Do you want me to create separate PR for the ciss headers? -- Alex Samorukov
