Agreed.  Fixed in 2.1, as the ioctls are handled at the common layer.  I
was taking issue with the 'EPERM not defined as a valid return value'
statement, not contending that having different return values is okay.

Funny bit, in sr_ioctl.c around line 511:

    /* these are compatible with the ide-cd driver */
    case CDROMREADRAW:
    case CDROMREADMODE1:
    case CDROMREADMODE2:
        return -EINVAL;
