C'mon Richard, it took me all of 10 min to find 4 sigificant instances
of grep _open and add a NULL, /* flush */ line, as was done a few dozen
times in the patch. I spend a lot more time reading devfs arguments :>)
OTOH PCMCIA gets broken a lot and a WARNING section in Documentation
with some fixup notes could be useful in the dev kernels, but I've never
heard dhinds complain.
