Sorry, this patch probably isn't going to make any difference, as only
processes *not* running as root are affected by the ioctl filtering.
And the patch certainly won't remove the warning message.
Denny, I suspect the RAID failure is due to an error condition that's
detected at boot time and it would have showed up whenever you rebooted,
regardless of any upgrade. You can probably check this by running an
older version of the Debian installer in rescue mode.
