Linus, i've a weird behavior with 2.5.2
swapon first fails at boot ( early stage ) then it succeed ( late boot
stage ) but the swap is not actually activated. Running swapon by hand it
reports a seccessful operation but the swap is not on.
I'm trying to understand what is happening ...

The io_request_lock problem is still present in drivers/scsi/ppa.c:
ppa.c: In function `ppa_detect':
ppa.c:131: `io_request_lock' undeclared (first use in this function)
ppa.c:131: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ppa.c:131: for each function it appears in.)
ppa.c: In function `ppa_interrupt':
ppa.c:850: `io_request_lock' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[2]: *** [ppa.o] Error 1

This patch to fix the swapon not working in 2.5.2 seems to be working fine
on my machines.
Thanks Viro!
