block_dev.c and Linux on Alpha Fixes

• Patch Index 2.0 Unofficial Patches
  
• Previous Patch: Tekram DC390W/U/F (T) PCI-SCSI controller Drivers
  
• Next Patch: Memory Leak Fix for fork.c
  

Recent changes in linux/fs/block_dev.c unfortunately conflicted with Linux as used on 64-bit Alpah (c.f. http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/ for a complete set of "axp-diffs"). I include below differences between Intel and axp versions of block_dev.c from 2.0.30; they are neutral on Intel but surely are important on Alpha.

If you use these patches, then declarations of block_read and block_write in include/linux/fs.h also have to be adjusted accordingly.
