bbswitch wont compile vs 5.6.3

[rubiksdot]

A little bleeding edge but it would appear that bbswitch no longer compiles vs kernel 5.6.3. This is the end of the make log that I have:

  CC [M]  /var/lib/dkms/bbswitch/0.8/build/bbswitch.o

I'm guessing that changes made to use file descriptors for processes are causing the issue.

just a test but for me works: bbswitch-v0.8-proc_ops-struct.patch

now it compiles good

Fix merged with #196

I'm testing out 5.7 (to be released next week, I think?) because I have a different problem. Now, I found out that bbswitch doesn't compile, again related to stuff with proc_ops. See the included file for a build log.

make.log

@rien333 Please try the latest develop branch, an implicit header was removed by upstream so we have to explicitly include it.

Works again, thank you very much!
