Not a typewriter

I noticed that my favorite "errno" has now gotten trashed by
the newer 'C' runtime libraries.

ENOTTY has been for ages, "Not a typewriter".
It's now been changed to "Inappropriate ioctl for device".

Methinks that this means that ../linux/include/asm/errno.h now needs
to be updated:

-#define ENOTTY 25 /* Not a typewriter */
+#define ENOTTY 25 /* Inappropriate ioctl for device
*/

None of these strings are in the kernel, but the headers probably should
show the "latest standard".

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
