The kernel doesn't compile with GCC <3.2, do not allow it to succeed if GCC
3.0.x or 3.1.x are used.

While working on bidi support at struct request level
I have found that blk_queue_activity_fn is actually never used.
The only user is in ide-probe.c with this code:
/* enable led activity for disk drives only */
if (drive->media == ide_disk && hwif->led_act)
blk_queue_activity_fn(q, hwif->led_act, drive);
And led_act is never initialized anywhere.
(Looking back at older kernels it was used in the PPC arch, but was removed around 2.6.18)
Unless it is all for future use off course.
(this patch is against linux-2.6-block.git as off 2006/12/4)

This patch makes paging_init() use highend_pfn/highstart_pfn globals.
It removes the need of 'high' local which was needed only by HIGHMEM config.
More important perhaps, it fixes a bug when HIGHMEM is set but there's
actually no physical highmem (highend_pfn = 0)

While the recent cset 86384d5441 did improve
things it didn't resolve all the problems. So bite the bullet and discard
.exit.text and .exit.data at runtime. Which of course sucks because it
bloats binaries with code that will never ever be used but it's the only
thing that will work reliable as demonstrated by the function sd_major() in
drivers/scsi/sd.c.
Gcc may compile sd_major() using a jump table which it will put into
.rodata. If it also inlines sd_major's function body into exit_sd() which
gcc > 3.4.x does. If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD has been set to y we would like ld
to discard exit_sd's code at link time. However sd_major happens to
contain a switch statement which gcc will compile using a jump table in
.rodata on the architectures I checked. So, when ld later discards
.exit.text only the jump table in .rodata with its stale references to
the discard .exit.text will be left which any no antique ld will honor
with a link error.

Herbert sayeth:
Normally networking isn't invoked with interrupts turned off, but I
suppose we don't have a choice here. This is unique being a place where you
can get called with BH on, off, or IRQs off.
Given that this is only used for printk, the easiest solution is probably
just to disable local IRQs instead of BH.

Dean Manners notices that when an IPVS synchonisation daemons are
started the system load slowly climbs up to 1. This seems to be related
to the call to ssleep(1) (aka msleep(1000) in the main loop. Replacing
this with a call to msleep_interruptable() seems to make the problem go
away. Though I'm not sure that it is correct.
This is the second edition of this patch, which replaces ssleep()
in the main loop for both the master and backup threads, as well
as some thread synchronisation code. The latter is just for thorougness
as it shouldn't be causing any problems.
