[1.] One line summary of the problem:
buz.c, 6pack.c use nonexistant KMALLOC_MAXSIZE in 2.4.3
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
buz.c:2837: `KMALLOC_MAXSIZE' undeclared (first use in this function)

in kernel-source-2.4.3:
$ find . -name '*.h' | xargs grep KMALLOC_MAXSIZE
$ find . -name '*.c' | xargs grep KMALLOC_MAXSIZE
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: * If v4l_bufsize <= KMALLOC_MAXSIZE we use kmalloc
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: if (v4l_bufsize <= KMALLOC_MAXSIZE) {
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: * If the requested buffer size is smaller than KMALLOC_MAXSIZE,
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: * size to KMALLOC_MAXSIZE in that case (which forces contiguous allocation).
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: alloc_contig = (zr->jpg_bufsize < KMALLOC_MAXSIZE);
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: alloc_contig = (zr->jpg_bufsize < KMALLOC_MAXSIZE);
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: if (zr->need_contiguous && br.size > KMALLOC_MAXSIZE)
./drivers/media/video/buz.c: br.size = KMALLOC_MAXSIZE;
./drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c: if (sixpack_maxdev * sizeof(void*) >= KMALLOC_MAXSIZE) {
$ find ../kernel-source-2.2.19 -name '*.h' | xargs grep KMALLOC_MAXSIZE

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:

Doing at least a "christmas tree" build ("all lights on", though in
this case "build *everything* that can be built as a module, and use
the config defaults for the rest" would be quite enough to catch
these) before it goes out the door would be useful...
