device_cio_free.conf

[Waiki Wright]

Dan,
During the start up sequence, I encountered this error message (which 
came from device_cio_free script)

Error: /proc/cio_ignore kernel interface doesn't exist

And it is certainly comes from the race condition that I mentioned before.

I applied the following "in-house" patches and the error message went away:

Any comments?
We are temporary using these "in-house" patches until we hear more from 
you in regard to a possible solution.

Thanks!
