[Ocfs2-devel] insmod on kernel 2.6.4

[Lynch, Rusty]

This problem is in the 2.6.6 kernel.  See http://lwn.net/Articles/75233/
for why the blk_run_queues() function is gone, and why just running the
address space is what file systems are supposed to do.

Current svn doesn't build with anything prior to 2.6.6 (or SuSE's
patched
up 2.6.5, which is why I haven't bumped the version check yet). Please
use 2.6.6 or higher when running v2 from now on.

Our policy is to track the latest 2.6.x releases until one of our
supported vendors freezes on a certain version. Only then we want to
deal with the headache of tracking different 2.6.x API versions.

If you have a good reason to use 2.6.4, let me know and I'll add the
cruft, but it should be a good reason. ;)
