With the new kernel release comes a new broken drivers list. It looks
like a lot of progress has been made; however, these drivers are still
broken by the VFS changes:

net/netlink.c
drivers/block/acsi_slm.c
drivers/block/swim3.c
drivers/char/acquirewdt.c
drivers/char/apm_bios.c
drivers/char/dsp56k.c
drivers/char/fbmem.c
drivers/char/h8.c
drivers/char/lp_m68k.c
drivers/char/softdog.c
drivers/char/tpqic02.c
drivers/char/wdt.c
drivers/macintosh/adb.c [No mouse, keyboard!]
drivers/scsi/53c7,8xx.c
drivers/sound/dmasound.c
fs/proc/net.c
fs/proc/omirr.c
fs/proc/openpromfs.c
fs/umsdos [can someone confirm that this is broken?]
net/wanrouter/wanproc.c [/proc data affected]
arch/i386/kernel/mca.c [/proc entries affected]
arch/ppc/kernal/ppc_htab.c [I've been told this is not serious]
arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c [do_readv_writev32 -- confirmation, please?]
drivers/char/ftape/kernel-interface.c
drivers/sbus/audio/audio.c
drivers/sbus/char/bpp.c
drivers/sbus/char/sunkbd.c [No keyboard!]
drivers/sbus/char/sunmouse.c [No mouse!]

Hopefully these will continue to be fixed incrementally in the 2.1.X kernels.
If anyone is having trouble with one of the above drivers -- now you know
why!
