Info: Some character device drivers support this method of
communicating with a device driver to select special features
(such as setting the baud rate of a COM port). The layout and
contents of the control data varies from device to device.
Notes: ■ This fn is supported only if bit 14 of the Device Attribute
(the rDevAttr field of the driver's DevHdrRec structure) is
set. Use Fn 4400H to check this bit.
