PATCH 1/1 fix a compile warning in tipar.c

I got the following compile warning in 2.4.22-pre10:

The minor #define was added to kdev_t.h in 2.4.18-pre4. The following patch adjusts tipar.c accordingly. Besides this, it changes the kernel version chack from a private macro to use the KERNEL_VERSION in kernel.h.

I've tested the compilation with 2.4.22-pre10.

Please apply

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
