Thank you !!
The errors and also the warnings are gone.I had to do the same things
for a couple of other files like device_if.h and bus_if.h
What are these files for ? i found them in the
/sys/i386/compile/config-name/  directory.Most of the header files in
that dir have a '_if' suffix and are dealing with kobj code,but what
about the rest ? Why are they not kept(like other headers) in the
/sys/sys or /sys/kern dirs ?

TIA.

Pranav
