Subject: [RHEL 5.0 PPC PATCH] RHBZ# 213020 LTC28646-Custom Diagnostics kernel
 module fails to load on RHEL5 beta 1

RHBZ#:
------
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213020

Description:
------------
The IBM Hardware validation team has a test suite of diagnostic tools 
which are critical for testing new hardware. This suite includes a 
kernel module developed by the team that is working on RHEL 4 but is 
unable to load in RHEL 5 due to two functions that still exist in RHEL 5 
kernel but are no longer exported.  The enclosed patch exports the two 
required symbols.

RHEL Version Found:
-------------------
RHEL 5.0 Alpha

Upstream Status:
----------------
IBM is working to gain community acceptance at this time.  The exports 
appear to be removed as a larger general cleanup effort.

Test Status:
------------
This patch is tested and is currently in-use in rebuilt kernels in IBM test 
labs.

Proposed Patch:
----------------
