[hsflinux] hsfconfig: compilation problems on recent kernels

[Thierry Lathuille]

Hello,

I've experienced problems as I tried to execute hsfconfig with a 2.5.64 
kernel. The compilation of the modules is impossible, I get the same errors 
as David Weenink with his 2.4.20-2.54 kernel.

This is caused  by changes in the kernel code (these errors are due to changes 
of the task_struct structure defined in include/linux/sched.h) 

So, parts of the hsf code will have to be changed accordingly some day. Is 
anyone already working on this (Marc ?) ?

For information, I had  other problems before this one :

- Some error with __attribute_used__  which I don't remember exactly.

- The include/asm-i386 directory in the kernel source tree now contains 
subdirectories for different machine architectures, and we must know from 
which one to include some files (irqvectors.h, included from irq.h, was the 
problem).  

These ones I could workaround  (in a not-very-clean way...) but the rest seems 
to be a much bigger job. And these recent kernels are much better suited if 
you want to keep your laptop cool... 

So, thank you to anyone who will help fixing this soon !
