Well. All I know is that util-linux has cytune utility that does not
compile with 2.6.9 kernel headers. But compiles with older ones.

Here's the error message.

The first problem with linux/tqueue.h happens because during config it
tries to do it with only cyclades.h and fails on __iomem. So it decides
to include tqueue.h. Only to make things worse.

Here's the patch that I had to apply.
