Would you (try to) accept a patch from me if I fix the following?

Modular IDE is still broken:
hq:/usr/src/linux-hq# /sbin/depmod -ae
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in .../kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.o
depmod:         ide_wait_hwif_ready
depmod:         ide_probe_for_drive
depmod:         ide_probe_reset
depmod:         ide_tune_drives

This is a circular dependency - ide-core.o wants them and they are exported
by ide-probe.o which wants things from ide-core.o.



Compilation on one of my systems produces (gcc 3.3.1):
*** md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 13 computed checksums did NOT match

(this is probably the ISDN source file checksum - we should update MD5
checksum or drop this checking at all).

vt.c: In function `do_kdsk_ioctl':
vt.c:166: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type
vt.c: In function `do_kdgkb_ioctl':
vt.c:283: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type

Probably older gcc is more quiet here.
