Subject: [PATCH 2/4] 2.6.18-mm2 pktcdvd: make procfs interface optional

Hi,

this patch 2/4 for pktcdvd against Linux 2.6.18 (stable)
or 2.6.18-mm2 makes the procfs interface optional. A new kernel
config parameter is added: CDROM_PKTCDVD_PROCINTF
(Of course, you can not use pktcdvd if there is no procfs
interface. Wait for patch 4/4 that adds the sysfs interface ;)

You must first apply patch 1/4 !

Sorry, my mail client damages the patch, so please use the (text) attachment
or get the patch from
http://people.freenet.de/BalaGi/download/2-procfs-pktcdvd-patch-2.6.18

The merged patch (parts 1 to 4) is available at:

This comment indicates that the patch ordering is wrong. It doesn't
make much sense to turn off the procfs interface when doing so makes
the driver totally unusable.
