Well that doesn't help me -- I need a working kfifo on a 2.6.33
base. Or do you want to abandon the old interface?

I must say I'm a little surprised by the general tone of  
your comments -- first you submit these patches all the time and when they 
finally get reviewed and merged and people start to use them and make them 
production ready you state it's all abandoned.

I hope it's not all abandonware.

Anyways Andrew could you please merge these fixes? Thanks.
