Re: patches for PROC_FS=n (2.6.0-test7)

Randy,

That fix looks like the best to me.  I did notice also that proc_bt_rfcomm and
proc_bt_hci have similar #ifdef wrappers.  I think that's okay since they aren't
EXPORT_SYMBOL-ed, and they're used in fewer places.

FYI, IPX won't compile without CONFIG_PROC_FS at this time.  The merged patch
depended on a patch that I sent to Linus and posted to linux-kernel alongside
the IPX patch.  I also sent them to linux-net (accidentally, instead of netdev).
I may need to resend that patch.  In the mean time, if you actually need to use
IPX without procfs, you can grab the patch (and rationale) here:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0310.1/0452.html

FYI #2, from elsewhere in the department of fixing exotic breakage, I'm working
on patches that will allow one to compile a linux kernel under Unix and other
similar systems.  I've gotten allnoconfig for i386 to build from Solaris 2.7 on
sun4u, but a number of the userspace tools that support the build process of
optional components need a bit more help.
