Hi,

I was not aware of it...

Do you plan to send patches for all ida_xxx() changes that are needed 
all over the kernel or is it only limited to 
'drivers/block/null_blk/main.c'?

(read: should I spend time on it, or is the phasing out of this 
deprecated API is already on the todo list of someone)
