Compile error, bug in compat.h with kernel 2.6.27.9 ?

Hello,

I have a compilation problem with the latest Linux DVB repository (Dec 30 2008)
on kernel 2.6.27.9. The source of the error seems to be an incorrect test in
compat.h.

------------------------------------------------------------

I get the following compile error:

  CC [M]  /home/tlelegard/v4l-dvb/v4l/bttv-input.o
In file included from /home/tlelegard/v4l-dvb/v4l/bttvp.h:37,

include/linux/pci.h:1131: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
include/linux/pci.h:1131: error: for each function it appears in.)
include/linux/pci.h:1131: error: 'bar' undeclared (first use in this function)

------------------------------------------------------------

In "compat.h" from Linux DVB, there is:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 28)
#define snd_BUG_ON(cond)	WARN((cond), "BUG? (%s)\n", __stringify(cond))

#define pci_ioremap_bar(pci, a)				\
	 ioremap_nocache(pci_resource_start(pci, a),	\
			 pci_resource_len(pci, a))
#endif

------------------------------------------------------------

In <linux/pci.h>, the following has been added somewhere between 2.6.27.7
and 2.6.27.9 (the two latest kernels I have on my Fedora 10 box):

#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM
static inline void __iomem *pci_ioremap_bar(struct pci_dev *pdev, int bar)
{
	/*
	 * Make sure the BAR is actually a memory resource, not an IO resource
	 */
	if (!(pci_resource_flags(pdev, bar) & IORESOURCE_MEM)) {
		WARN_ON(1);
		return NULL;
	}
	return ioremap_nocache(pci_resource_start(pdev, bar),
				     pci_resource_len(pdev, bar));
}
#endif

------------------------------------------------------------

This means that pci_ioremap_bar is defined twice (a macro in v4l's compat.h).

In compat.h, there is an obvious attempt to define an equivalent of
pci_ioremap_bar when it is not yet defined in the kernel.

But the test < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 28) is not really correct since
the definition of pci_ioremap_bar appeared in the kernel in the middle of
2.6.27.* (in .8 or .9).

For my own usage on kernel 2.6.27.9, I simply modified compat.h with
< KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 27) but this is obviously and definitely not the
right thing to do in the repository.

I do not see an obvious and general solution to this.
