[linux-lvm] 2.5.49 device mapper compile failure

[Dax Kelson]

 - device mapper using vcalloc() even though no such function has ever 
   existed in the kernel (it's vmalloc + memset()).

Linus didn't include vcalloc() and we gave up on that one. We were the only
ones using it anyway. Now it got reborn as a device-mapper private function
called dm_vcalloc().

Please get the recent patches from 

	http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/patches/2.[45]-stable,

apply and cross your fingers that Linus catches up ASAP ;)
