    [PATCH] (Temporarily) remove support for FIFOs due to major bugs

    Major bugs resulting from FIFO support:
    1) Kernel panics happen often when writing large amounts of data through a FIFO.
    2) File system corruption can occur when the above happens.

    When these bugs are fixed, hopefully before the official 2.6.0 release, FIFO support will be readded.
