Aha!  Thanks.  All I was doing was comparing the types at compile-time
and not finding a match.

Yeah, I'm pretending to be 2.6.32, the minimum supported by DRBD's kernel
compatibility, to minimize the amount of kernel function I have to emulate.

OK, I'll set my own warnings back down to the same ones the kernel enables.

For warnings that happen a lot I already disabled them, but there were
three warnings that each was reported only once in 51,444 lines of DRBD
code -- I had figured those conditions were being maintained and not
supposed to be there, so those are the ones I mentioned.
