Subject: drivers/block/rd.c rd_size reference problem of ARM

the variable "rd_size" of drivers/block/rd.c is changed to be "static" in
2.6.12-rc3-mm3.
it causes compilation error to ARM architecture because of the reference of
that.

I blocked the reference as below, for compilation, but need to refine.

The change which caused this has been removed in -rc4, and Andrew is
probably going to drop this as well.
