[linux-lvm] Linux 2.4.13-ac7 missing/wrong methods

Hi,

after I'v just installed a new server with Linux 2.4.13-ac7 and LVM
1.0.1-rc4, I'd just wanted to tell you (dear list) that there are two
missing symbols in lvm-snap.c

I've used vanila 2.4.13 applied the ac7 patch, the 2.4.11-vfs... patch
and the LVM patch generated by today (as of about 12:00 GMT) CVS
version.

Patching and comiling worked flawlessly (except for the known bug of
patching Makefile twice and the attemp to remove the lvm-snap.h (IIRC))
but make modules_install failed whith two symbols missing.

After some reading of the code and the patches I've made the inlined
patch. With it everyting works fine (well, for some reasons my initrd
does not work as exspected and I will have to try again later to move to
a LVM root ... (if someone should care, I've nothing but the described
patches applied, but am using devfs))
