Problems compiling 2.5.32

Problems compiling 2.5.32

[Rodrigo Ventura]

        I don't know whether these issues are new to you all, but
anyway, here they go:


Version: 2.5.32 (patched from 2.5.31)

1. Module 8250.o does not compile due to syntax errors, but a little
   kludge made it work:

-#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < 0x020300)

 /* Unfortunate, but Linux 2.2 needs async_icount defined here and
  * it got moved in 2.3 */
 #include <linux/serial.h>


2. loop.o cannot be compiled as a module, because it results in:

	  loop.o: unresolved symbol balance_dirty_pages

   when trying to insmod it.


3. Strange errors (no such errors with 2.4.x, same config)
