Full Text Bug Listing

Some important new release patches have been released for EVMS-2.5.5, including
some bug fixes necessary for Linux kernels starting at 2.6.17 (includes
2.6.18).  These are considered release-level patches (bug fixes), not
developmental nor experimental.

Because of the importance of these patches, I have created this new bug report
with an appropriate severity.  Note that in some systems, this is actually a
BLOCKER for Linux kernels 2.6.17 onward, since it makes filesystems unavailable
and the system won't even be able to boot in many cases (the simple
get_geometry.patch).  However, since it does not affect all configurations, it
may be tolerable to leave it keyworded (~x86, etc.) for an appropriate level of
time, as is evms-2.5.5-r2 currently.

I have updated the evms ebuild conservatively to contain these new patches. 
What follows are the appropriate attachments:  ebuild, and patches.  None of
these patches are considered experimental.

Marking this bug as blocking 152293, since 152293 contains experimental stuff
in it that is inappropriate to consider without first pushing this
release-level bug through.
