No, the compile error was with the patch that added support for ioctls
to 2.6, and highlighted the fact that the revalidate routine wasn't even
implemented for 2.6.

Not a huge deal. It's just a case of taking the code that's in 2.4
blkfront directory (some of which is already n 2.6 but commented out),
and make it compile and work under 2.6.

Some of the fixes are obvious (extra parameter to get_gendisk), but some
of the changes require a little more thought.
