3. Compile with kernel 2.2.13 or 2.2.14 fails:

> drivers/block/block.a(ll_rw_blk.o): In function `blk_dev_init':
> ll_rw_blk.o(.text.init+0xb0): undefined reference to `lvm_init'

The line in question is:
__initfunc(static int lvm_init(void))

This should be changed to:
__initfunc(extern int lvm_init(void))
