  Header file termios.h contains incompatible definitions for linux ioctl
calls. Correct definitions are exported by header file linux/termios.h but
this file conflicts with sys/ioctl.h header file (required for ioctl()
call). Therefore include direct asm header file asm/termbits.h which
contains compatible definitions and structures for ioctl calls.

Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org>

Changes in v3:
* Use .I <file> instead of .B #include <file>
* Use Bnnn instead of Bnn

Changes in v2:
* Reformat SYNOPSIS for 80 chars per line

Sure, patch applied!
BTW, if at some point you feel like adding entries for termios and 
termios2 into system_data_types(7), I'll be happy to merge those!!

Thank you!
