Bug Report

While using linux/genhd.h I received several compiler errors. I wasn't
sure who to mail, I figured Linus probably wouldn't want this clutter in
his mail box, but maybe I'm wrong - who cares. Here's the problem. (kernel
2.2.0pre5)
After the struct partition (ending on line ~56) there is an
} __attribute__((packed));

My gcc definitely doesn't like this. (gcc 2.7.2.1, I think 2.8.1 hates it
also):

/usr/include/linux/genhd.h:56: semicolon missing after declaration of
`partition'

Then it gives me a ton of errors regarding the lack of linux/types.h. I
don't know if these are my problems or if linux/types.h is a prerequisite
for genhd.h. I just figured I'd lay it out there and hopefully someone
much more informed than myself can add these lines, or hopefully correct my
error.

thanx
