Hope I haven't caused unnecessary confusion: the latest CVS "configure" and source for 1.4.0 compiles kmod fine, but insmod then fails because of update_atime() missing; it's only the "configure" from 1.4.0 which prevents kmod compiling.

I suppose I'm looking for a quick fix which gets the kmod compiled for 2.6.16 without having to resort to pre-release CVS - i.e. a configure patch + 1.4.0 source.

I think this happens because HAVE_XATTR is not successfully detected by
configure. There has been a change in
include/linux/spinlock.h where LOCK_SECTION_NAME is #define'd and the
KBUILD_BASENAME is not properly set up. Result: the xattr stuff is still
present in the kernel files but the pvfs kernel module doesn't #include
<linux/xattr.h>

Don't expect that my couple of fixes will affect this though; they
were just for minor function signature issues in some structs.
Definitely not related.  We may have to investigate this XATTR
problem a bit further.  Which kernel verison, to start?
