Greg, James Hi

This patch is not enough, and will not return a gdth system to working
order. With this patch disks
will show up again, only to crash later. All the 5 patches I sent are
needed, to return to a working
state. James please apply to mainline, so they can be accepted into stable.
of the 5 only 2 I have seen in mainline. 3 are missing.
(if they were submitted, I might have missed them, as I'm traveling, then sorry)

Boaz
