[driverloader] driverloader with 2.6.24-rcX

[Bob Tracy]

The driverloader-2.39 release worked great up until the first 2.6.24
kernel release candidates appeared.  The biggest obstacle to building a
valid driverloader module seems to be that do_softirq() is no longer
being exported.  There are other minor fixes to the driverloader code
required, and as I don't have it in front of me right now, I'll have to
go by memory :-(.

The Kbuild process now complains bitterly about changes to CFLAGS, and
wants out-of-tree builds to use EXTRA_CFLAGS instead.  This means lots
of trivial mods to the main driverloader module makefile, but the build
seems to work fine once those mods are made.

The access_ok macro is now defined in linux/uaccess_32.h and/or
linux/uaccess_64.h, i.e., the Makefile check for whether that macro is
defined is incorrectly looking in linux/uaccess.h, which simply points
to the 32-bit and 64-bit files.

SET_MODULE_OWNER has gone bye-bye, and all references to it can be
removed for kernels greater than 2.6.23.  I think this affects two files:
dldrpci.c and dldrusb.c (if I'm remembering the names correctly).

I don't know what an appropriate fix might be for the missing do_softirq().
Fixing everything else allows the build to succeed, but the resulting
module won't load because of the undefined do_softirq symbol.  If anyone
can suggest an appropriate fix, I'll be happy to give it a try.

Thanks!
