Subject: [PATCH 4/4] 2.6.18-mm2 pktcdvd: sysfs + debugfs interface, bio write congestion handling

Hi,

this patch 4/4 for pktcdvd against Linux 2.6.18 (stable)
or 2.6.18-mm2 adds a sysfs and a debugfs interface. Also it adds
the ability to control the bio write queue of the driver (write
congestion control).
For more infos see the Documentation/* files in the patch.

You must first apply patch 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4 !

Sorry, my mail client damages the patch, so please use the (text) attachment
or get the patch from
http://people.freenet.de/BalaGi/download/4-sysfs-pktcdvd-patch-2.6.18

The merged patch (parts 1 to 4) is available at:
http://people.freenet.de/BalaGi/download/pktcdvd-patch-2.6.18

There is also a tool available to control the pktcdvd driver using
the new sysfs interface:

The sysfs interface makes sense even without the congestion control,
so the two features should be two separate patches.
