Subject: [PATCHES] 3 of them, resubmit, over 2.4.1-ac20

All are as attachments, I've submitted them separately over 2.4.1-ac16, these
are remade over -ac20.

Descriptions:

* ac20-redundant-cpp-directive.patch: in
arch/i386/kernel/irq.c:irq_affinity_write_proc, there was a redundant #if
CONFIG_SMP .. #endif directive. This patch removes it.

* ac20-lockdoor-ioctl.patch: in drivers/ide/ide-floppy.c:idefloppy_ioctl,
this patch adds the CDROM_LOCKDOOR ioctl. Based on drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c for
policy about said ioctl for drive usage stuff.

* ac20-spurious-assignment.patch: in mm/vmalloc.c:vmalloc_area_pages, ret is
set twice to -ENOMEM whereas once would be enough. What's more, the loop in
which this spurious assignment appears runs with the kernel lock held. This
patch fixes this.

Have fun,
