I recently upgraded to the latest linux-headers (2.6.21) and tried to re-emerge
opendx. The compilation failed with the following message:

---------------------
On closer inspection the header linux/sys.h that was present in earlier version
of the kernel is not included in 2.6.21
The problem also occurs with the latest upstream version (opendx-4.4.4).
I guess the header in question may be gone for good in which case it is
really an upstream problem.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge linux-headers-2.6.21
2. emerge opendx
3.
Actual Results:
Compilation failure as previously reported.
Expected Results:
I expected it to compile.
