block_dev.c not backward compatible with 2.2.15 APIs

The get_blkfops function is no longer exported from the Linux Kernel.
Because of this, I do not have a good way to scan for all the hard disks
in the system. The Linux buffer cache is also very buggy, and if you
ask for a device that's not present, it tries to grow the buffer cache,
and gets a scolling:

"VFS: cannot grow buffers XXXXXXXX"

Right before the system barfs on 2.3.99.

Can this function get exported please?

Thanks,

Jeff
