[New-bugs-announce] [issue22698] Add constants for ioctl request codes

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

It would be useful to expose ioctl request codes (Linux specific?) [1] at Python level.

In particular this will allow to determine MAC address in uuid at Python level without using ctypes or calling external programs. [2]
