Compilation errors

[Johann D. <jo...@Do...>]

Hi !

My kernel is the version 2.4.5
I get a complaint about the use of "current" in include/asm/hw_irq.h
It gets fixed if I add an #include <linux/sched.h>

I could commit this change, but as it's not in one of the files I usually
work on, I would rather leave it to someone else.
This bug looks quite obvious to me. Didn't anyone else ever encounter it
? Is it specific to my own config ?

[some time passes]

Ouch, another error: vga_lock isn't defined anywhere (according to the
linker). Looking at driver/video/vga_con.c, I see:
extern spinlock_t vga_lock;
In driver/video/vga.c:
static spinlock_t vga_lock;
^^^^^^
Is that done on purpose ?
