Marcelo,

Patch against 2.4.27-rc1.  This removes the REPORT_URL string and
message telling people to send me their BIOS info.  I've got a huge
number of reports, and virtually all show that EDD 3.0 is not
supported, or if supported, is likely implemented in ways contrary to
the spec.  In 2.7.x I may bring the REPORT_URL back once I've got a
better way to track the data being sent to me.

Also, this now reports the EDD geometry (if known) and number of
sectors using %u instead of %x, to be consistent with what is in 2.6.7
now.

Thanks,
Matt
