** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification:
+ 
+ Impact: Due to kernel changes for CVE-2010-3081 a function that was an
+ inline before has changed to a GPL only function. The fglrx driver
+ cannot link against this and fails to compile. In fglrx only the old
+ inlines (which have been renamed) may be used but those would lack the
+ additional checks.
+ 
+ Fix: Add code to detect whether the fglrx driver is compiled against a
+ kernel which has this change and use the old inlines in this case. Add
+ the additional checks from the CVE to the driver wrapper, so the
+ hardening is done in any case.
+ 
+ Testcase: Compile of 64bit fglrx driver fails with an error without this
+ change.
