BTW, what's the difference between rw_semaphore and compat_rw_semaphore?
Or between semaphore and compat_semaphore? I ran into a similar issue
(needing compat_semaphore) with the IVTV drivers. The following is a
portion of my patch to get IVTV running under RT (the other portions are
just compile-time semantics):
--- ivtv-0.2.0-rc3k.orig/driver/msp3400.c 2004-11-19 08:21:04.000000000 -0800
+++ ivtv-0.2.0-rc3k/driver/msp3400.c 2005-06-22 17:26:24.000000000
