The declaration of:
struct file;
in sysctl.h is a bit counter intuitive isn't it?
I avoided the problem with:
--- md.c 2000/11/12 23:00:49 1.1
+++ md.c 2000/11/12 23:00:53

#include <linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h>
It is certainly arguable that a better fix is to add some extra
includes to sysctl.h, but the "struct file;" bothers me.
