The change I'm making is in the solaris-specific implementation
component of HAL. If Linux supports dkio(7I) at all, its news to me.
Certainly, I don't believe that it supports DKIOCSTATE, which is the
main dkio(7I) functionality in this part of hal.
I did a search of Linux source (not entirely exhaustive, but it included
the "block" subdirectory and the include/ subdirectory) at least, and
could not find any such ioctls.
