I just don't like things like the verbose scsi error reporting and stuff
like that. That's not a module, and adds 12k alone to the kernel... I'm
trying to keep the kernel tight.
Also, even though this is the redhat-list, not everyone uses only RedHat.
I've also got a couple of Debian machines floating around (like my
notebook). It's a patch, and not an RPM for the kernel, so it's good
for everyone. :)

The DVD ioctls made it into 2.2.16, you're right. But there are some
problems with the 2.2.16 CD/DVD code. See:
