2.6.23-rc8-git4: Known regressions from 2.6.22

2.6.23-rc8-git4: Known regressions from 2.6.22

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi,

This message lists some known regressions from 2.6.22 for which there are
no fixes in the mainline that I know of.  If any of them have been fixed
already, please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.22, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.

I'm told that this is already patched in the net-2.6.24 git tree,
but it should be merged for 2.6.23 IMO.

Jeff, John?

Build errors like this may not be a huge deal, but the fix looks 
worthwhile anyway, so is there any reason this hasn't been sent upstream?

My mistake -- I thought this was a problem introduced in the patches
queued for 2.6.24.

Feel free to pull from here:

Thanks!
