eject and 2.6

[Nick Hudson]

eject will not compile under a 2.6.x kernel.  Or atleat in my tests it 
will not.  It gets cought up at some scsi api diffrences from the 2.4.x 
kernel and 2.6.x kernel.  This patch fixes that problem and will allow 
it to compile under a 2.6.x kernel.  But if you compiled it along time 
ago under the 2.4 kernel it should still work fine, the problem comes in 
when you go and compile it.
