DVD patch for Linux kernel

There used to be two patches in here - one for the 2.2 kernels and
one for 2.3. Since the DVD patches are incorporated in the 2.3
series, the 2.3 patch was just bug fixes. To keep things simple,
I decided to just keep a 2.2 patch in here.

Applying the patch:

# cd /usr/src/linux
# patch -p1 < ~/dvd-2.2.13-2.diff

Substitute paths and patch name as necessary. If you have a modular CD-ROM
driver, just recompile your modules and reinsert the new drivers and your
done.

# make modules modules_install
# insmod cdrom
# insmod ide-cd

Or use sr_mod instead of ide-cd if you have a SCSI DVD drive. If
the CD-ROM drivers are compiled into the kernel, you have to build
a new one.

# make bzlilo

Note that this may not be all you need, depending on your setup. Consult
a kernel building HOWTO if you don't know what to do.

That's it! I'll try to update the CVS as often as I can, but you might
want to check out http://www.kernel.dk every now and then (this goes double
if you are running a 2.3 kernel). Enjoy, and report any CD-ROM related bugs
to me.
