[2.5.21] compile error

[Paolo Ciarrocchi]

Hi all,
I've just tried to compile the 2.5.21,
but I got these errors:

Old news. ataraid hasn't been touched since the block layer
first started getting mangling in 2.5, and hence needs quite
a bit of work.

See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html for this, and more.

        Dave.

I've fixed the ataraid stuff + hpt and pdc, however it needs two pieces
of infrastructure that are currently missing (independent bi_voffset so
we don't screw with the bio_vec->bv_offset members, and a nice bio_split
interface (currently done with bio_clone + driver mess)).

I'll post it soon.
