Hi Andrew,

The build fails with following error

CC drivers/block/ps3disk.o
drivers/block/ps3disk.c: In function ‘ps3disk_scatter_gather’:
drivers/block/ps3disk.c:115: error: ‘bio’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
drivers/block/ps3disk.c:115: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
drivers/block/ps3disk.c:115: error: for each function it appears in.)
drivers/block/ps3disk.c:115: error: ‘j’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
drivers/block/ps3disk.c:116: error: implicit declaration of function
‘bio_kunmap_bvec’
make[2]: *** [drivers/block/ps3disk.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/block] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

The function bio_kunmap_bvec is missing.I tried checking the git-block.patch
as well as the linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-2.6-block.git and did not
find this function.

Previously this function was replaced by __bio_kunmap_atomic();
This patch does not solves the implicit "declaration of function
‘bio_kunmap_bvec’"
