    Hi Adam.

    Between 2.6.8 and 2.6.9, the following patch to rsparser.c was merged:

    http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@414703f7MEe33PTYY-aFQaM3CLKjZw?nav=index.html|src/|src/drivers|src/drivers/pnp|src/drivers/pnp/pnpbios|related/drivers/pnp/pnpbios/rsparser.c

    The added warning triggers on my machine:

    Linux Plug and Play Support v0.97 (c) Adam Belay
    PnPBIOS: Scanning system for PnP BIOS support...
    PnPBIOS: Found PnP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00f7740
    PnPBIOS: PnP BIOS version 1.0, entry 0xf0000:0x6634, dseg 0xf0000
    PnPBIOS: Missing SMALL_TAG_ENDDEP tag
    PnPBIOS: Missing SMALL_TAG_ENDDEP tag
    PnPBIOS: Missing SMALL_TAG_ENDDEP tag
    PnPBIOS: Missing SMALL_TAG_ENDDEP tag
    PnPBIOS: 13 nodes reported by PnP BIOS; 13 recorded by driver

    I don't believe those warnings should be printed, what with "broken" the
    expected state of anything coming from the BIOS. The attached patch
    removes them again. Works for me...

    Rene.
