Ok this patch should be diffed correctly. Same things apply:

The EXPORT_SYMBOL has been removed as Jeff suggested.

2.4 got broken.
In case you have not read, the backport is suspended for now.
So you can not have you UltraDMA in 2.2 if you wanted.
Instead of bitching about the problem, way not attempt to narrow the scope
where you think is was broken.

Hello Richard,
Part of your analysis is correct. The hooks were designed to take care of
static tracepoints only. That said, dynamic allocation of event IDs was
next on my list and the hooking mechanism would have been modified consequently.

Unless you have a special bay that tri-states the buss or a host that does

Your point is taken to a certain extent.
Its true that the files here are not necessarily going to be laid our
sequentially on disk.
However, they will be laid out far enough apart to cause some seeking
which will put load on the elevator.

Hi,
I noticed that when compiling with gcc-2.95.2 for a Pentium the flag "-
m486" ist still passed to gcc. However gcc-2.95.2 generates different
code if "-m586" is used (older versions ended at -m486).
Is the makefile intentionally not updated, or was it just forgotten?

2.4 kernel which use these structures don't seem to explain their usa

In the OOM killer, shouldn't there be a check for PID 1 just to enforce
