Subject: [PATCH] missing gendisk initialization in cpqarray.c (Linux-2.2.20)

Hi!

The following patch adds code to initialize gendisk.fops
in cpqarray.c. It's needed to avoid a kernel warning message
when using devfs with the Compaq RAID Controller.

Im confused. Linux 2.2 doesn't include devfs. This patch therefore seems
nonsense

Hm, ok...

Then this patch (and the one for cciss.c) should better
go to Richard for inclusion in the 2.2.20 devfs patch?
