RATIONALE: */cdemu* are very useful end user packages allowing one to mount various CD image formats to emulated SCSI CDROM/DVD devices easily. Both rely on sys-fs/vhba, which is a compiled-in kernel module. Unfortunately, with 2.6.33+, the module, as of 1.2.1 (which is the current version in ~amd64) doesn't compile at all. Two reasons for this: * #include <linux/autoconf.h> raises definition conflicts, and leads to a wrong kernel.api.h; * starting with 2.6.34-rc3, <linux/slab.h> MUST be included so that kmalloc() and friends (plus kfree()) be defined, and the base CPPFLAGS for kat/Makefile include -Werror-implicit-function-declaration. Two patches are included, both are upstream (the second one came from me initially, even though the upstream message doesn't reflect it): * the first one removes all includes of <linux/autoconf.h> from kat/*.c; * the second one #includes <linux/slab.h> in vhba.c. Please consider adding these two patches and make a 1.2.1-r1 version of this module: this will guarantee correct compilation of this module for some time to come. Patches follow.
