[ANN] NTFS 2.0.7c for Linux 2.4.18

[Pawel Kot]

Hi,

As Arek Miskiewicz reported to me, the previous NTFS TNG versions didn't
compile with CONFIG_HIGHMEM. The compilation failed due to lack of the
definition of the KM_BIO_IRQ used in the NTFS code.

In this release KM_BIO_IRQ was added to km_type enum on all platforms
supporting it (sparc, ppm, i386).

If you don't use HIGHMEM support or use other architecture the changes
don't touch you.

The patch is available as always from the linux-ntfs project's page:
http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/downloads.html

As usually big thanks to Anton.

Unfortunately the patch fixes only the case when NTFS is compiled into the
kernel. There are missing exports of kmap_pte and kmap_prot when you use
ntfs as the kernel module and depmod fails then.

The following patch adresses this issue. Could anyone please test it with
a highmem box? The patch will be included in the next release (2.0.7d or
2.0.8a).
