[PATCH] [2.6] Avoid silly recompile when LOCALVERSION changes

[PATCH] [2.6] Avoid silly recompile when LOCALVERSION changes

[Chuck Ebbert]

  This is really annoying...

  Any code that needs the kernel release name should include <utsname.h>
and use system_utsname.release instead of referring to UTS_RELEASE
from <version.h>

  sound/core/info.c and drivers/block/floppy.c need fixing as well.

  And at first glance, drivers/scsi/sg.c seems not to need version.h at all...

  drivers/scsi/aic7xxx and drivers/serial/8250*.c are also affected but they seem
more problematic.
