Changes from 1.3.30 to 1.3.31

These changes are archived on ftp.crynwr.com:pub/kchanges and http://www.crynwr.com/kchanges. I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone, but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the patches themselves. The patch file is patch-1.3.31.gz

These are from Linus:

Also, if you have SCSI tapes enabled it turns out that 1.3.31 won't compile on the x86 architecture. Just add this one line to include/asm-i386/ioctl.h and you should be ok (or just upgrade to an alpha ;-)

#define _IOC_TYPE(nr)		(((nr) >> _IOC_TYPESHIFT) & _IOC_TYPEMASK)

Hope that fixes it..
