RE: v.11 redhat compiling errors

Line 60 contains:

	extern struct notifier_block *panic_notifier_list;

The strange error message is (I think) because notifier.h isn't included,
but if you manually include linux/notifier.h you get another whole mess of
errors.

Sorry for the delay, I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something too
stupid, so I built a from-scratch, choose-all-the-defaults redhat9 computer
to try this on.  That's when I discovered that the "stock" kernel worked.  I
just need to start going through it and figure out where the dependency is.
When I do, I'll let you know.

Another way would be to look at line 60 in kernel.h, both in the source
and in the preprocessor output (-E option) in the error case.
