[Linux-cluster] [PATCH] Add --disable-kernel-check to configure

[Fabio M. Di Nitto]

moving to cluster-devel as it belongs there.

The patch looks ok.

Just to keep track of my only comment on IRC:
=0 instead of ="": I prefer to have them all alligned across the 
configure. I don't have a preference so either change your in your patch 
or change them all. Both are fine with me (just make sure it won't break 
major and minor_release as they have a slightly different check set).

Once you have decided how to address this, you have a signoff from me.

Can somebody please make sure to apply it in CVS HEAD?

I did specifically ask Soren to make this change because:

- we don't always need this in certain testing/debugging environements 
(David did trip on this problem 2 days ago)
- packagers might have to deal with distro kernels that might be on an 
older version (compared to minimal requirements) but the kernel still 
contains all relevant patches backported from recent kernels.
- we want an easy way to override certain checks no matter what.

Thanks
Fabio
