2.1.126pre2ac1

Just tried Alan Cox's patch to the 126-pre2 patch. Works fine except for
trying to read /proc/sys, which causes the process to stay in D state
for ever, which is a bit of a pain.

Also, when cdrom support is compiled in as a module, trying to set it up
with hdparm will fail unless there's a cdrom in the cdrom unit. (ie at
boot time)

What seems to happen is that hdparm accesses /dev/hdc, which causes the
cdrom driver module to be loaded, which first checks whether there's a
cdrom in the drive, and if not reports an error. With a cdrom in the
drive everything works fine.
