Re: Applying MTD to 2.2.x kernel, with more info

[David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>]

It _should_ all work in 2.2, even as modules. But I don't test it often. I 
really ought to verify it and fix the bits which break, then feed it to Alan 
for 2.2.next.

67:	if (!drv && !request_module(name)) {

2.2 defines request_module as do{}while(0) ifndef CONFIG_KMOD. Which is 
broken.
