Networking headers in volume managment code?

Why do you export strings? Wouldn't a simple cpp symbol do it?
Also the symbol names are bigger than the actual string they
represent.. Looks a little pointless :)

Needs to be checked for CONFIG_SYSCTL instead.

IMHO this is the wrong place. What about an conditionally compiled
evms_ioctl32.c file?

All user of this look like they better used list_for_each?

Dito with list_for_each_safe

Very bad if you ever want to be able to use more than one major
number.

Scap this. Modules under linux aren't binary compatible.

Dito.

A helper for kmalloc + memset looks rather pointles..

Is this a different crc from the lib/crc32.c one?

Umm..

This function should be three ones for the different functionality.
Also kdev_t won't last long for block devices..

I don't think this is_busy check is a good idea. Anyways
it should be better something like this (then in block_dev.c):

int bd_busy(struct block_device *bdev)
{
        int res = 0;
        spin_lock(&bdev_lock);
        if (bdev->bd_holder)
                res = -EBUSY;
        spin_unlock(&bdev_lock);
        return res;
}

Didn't you already export these two through /proc?

ever heard of waitqueues and wait_event?

Looks like even the EVMS list snipped the rest of the mail :)
