Re: [PATCH 22/82] remove linux/version.h from drivers/message/fus ion

Eric, I have to have a similar compat file for the IPMI drivers
backported onto RHEL3, RHEL4, and SLES9.  They aren't in mainline of
course, but each OS has a slightly different copy for its needs, so my
DKMS packages carry it.

In general, this construct:

> > -#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,6))
> > -static int inline scsi_device_online(struct scsi_device *sdev)
> > -{
> > -	return sdev->online;
> > -}
> > -#endif

is better tested as:

#ifndef scsi_device_inline
static int inline scsi_device_online(struct scsi_device *sdev)
{
    return sdev->online;
}
#endif

when you can.  It cleanly eliminates the version test, and tests for
exactly what you're looking for - is this function defined.

Thanks,
Matt
