comedi-cvs linux-2.2 patch

I have just tried comedi-cvs in 2.2.19-rtl3.1-ext3 kernel.

I have got the following problems (Debian 3.0):

/lib/modules/2.2.19-rtl3.1-ext3-2/misc/mite.o: unresolved symbol
kvirt_to_pa
/lib/modules/2.2.19-rtl3.1-ext3-2/misc/mite.o: unresolved symbol

Well, I have decided I will first try to help myself :-)

I am attaching a patch which solves these problems and:

1.

        if(mite->ring){
                kfree(mite->ring);
+               mite->ring = NULL;
        }


2.  EXPORT_SYMBOL(mite_load_buffer);

Please apply the patch (may by without EXPORT_SYMBOL(mite_load_buffer)). 
Why I do need it: I want not to use the buffer allocated by Comedi for DMA
in the kernel space, but to tell it where it SHOULD save the
data. Therefore I have substituted my own function for
subdevice->buf_alloc where I first give my own buffer, and then call
mite_load_buffer.


I am also getting by "comedi install":

- but these does not affect NI, so I do not care.


Also:

comedilib# make install

....
install -m 644 doc/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/comedilib.mo
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/
install: cannot stat `doc/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/comedilib.mo': No such
file or directory
make: *** [install_doc] Error 1
- probably this error should be rather ignored.
