[SSI] Re: dev_t and kdev_t use

[Laura R. <lra...@ka...>]

Hi Aneesh,

Yes, you are right, we shouldnt be using dev_t and kdev_t interchangeably.  
I have changed the following files to use kdev_t instead.  That should
eliminate your compiling problems.

cluster/ssi/vproc/reopen.x
cluster/ssi/vproc/rproc_template.x
cluster/ssi/vproc/rproc_platform.x
cluster/ssi/vproc/nd_cleanup.c
cluster/ssi/vproc/rvp_pvpsops_server.c
include/cluster/rpc/xdr.h
include/linux/dpvproc.h
include/linux/vproc.h

I have also created & attached the following patch of the files above,
which should work for the 0.5.1 release. You can probably just use it as
a reference, if it does not match your version of the code.

let me know if you have any more problems.
