-Subject: [PATCH] Add dummy definition of O_CLOEXEC
-
-O_CLOEXEC is introduced from Linux 2.6.23, so old kernel doesn't have
-it, we need check before use.
-
-This patch is much more like a workaround, since it may need fcntl() use
-FD_CLOEXEC to replace.
-
-This problem was reported by "Ting Liu <b28495@freescale.com>"
-
-[Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de.schampheleire@gmail.com:
- - move dummy definition from libkmod-internal.h to missing.h
- - update commit title]
-
-[Vicente: Adapt this patch to version 19.]
