PlayStation 2 Trance Vibrator driver

This patch against 2.6.17.8 is a driver for the PlayStation 2 specific Trance Vibrator device. The only thing that device can do is vibrate at various speeds. Strange device, but also educational because of the strange way sysfs is used...

PATCH/FIX for drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c

The patch replaces an error message by something a bit more, umm, expressive. Yeah, expressive. However, the author forgot some coding style and patch submission details, which Andrew Morton helpfully points out.
