    Brings 2.6.x version of osst up to par with the 2.4.y version.
    Except for the /proc changes
    Tested against released 2.6.0 kernel.
    
    Changes from what's in the kernel tree today:
    
    - Fixes bug that files shorter than one 32K frame don't get written.
    - Fix a memory alloc/free mismatch that could have made your kernel unstable after rmmod osst.
    - Fix a number of tape (re)positioning bugs around filemarks that affected Amanda, Arkeia and
      Storix backup software.
    - Rationalize module parameters.
    - Fix time-out skipping to EOD
    - Write FM+EOD+Header-update when file write terminated by ioctl
    - Follow standard Unix behavior for read at EOD (return zero bytes read twice then error)
    - Implement SETBLK ioctl (allowed before first write only)
