aoe6-72pre2: support 2.6.30

Description:

This patch allows the aoe driver to be built for a 2.6.30 kernel.

In 2.6.30, the hdreg.h macros like WIN_READ, etc., are only defined outside of the kernel. The changes committed to the mainline kernel allow aoe6-72pre2 to build for 2.6.30 but must be reverted during compatibility configuration for backwards compatibility with kernels so old that hdreg.h and ata.h are incompatible.

Link:

The patch can be found here.
