Subject: should-fix(?) list

At least for me! in 2.5.70:

1) drivers/char/ftape don't compile( it uses deprecated sti, save_flags
etc ...)
I tried to "fix" it by applying a patch posted some time ago on this
list. It compiled wonderfully but trashed my hard diks even more
wonderfully :(

2)net/core/dev.c spits tons of "fix old protocol handler
pppoe_rcv+0x0/0x150!" to my console to the point of slowing down my adsl
connection by 50%. I "fixed" it by commenting out print_symbol line.Not
very clever but got my old connection speed back whithout any apparent
ill effect, so ...

3) drivers/ide/pci/hpt336 slows down the disk on it from 35MB/sec in 2.4
to 24MB/sec. I presume it's the specific driver because for my other
devices on piix the performance is exactly the same in 2.4 and 2.5.

Thanks for listening!

Does this patch solve it for you?
