Hello hanl,

I believe that you are using a version of the Linux kernel that was not tested with the current Linux 2.6 osinterface.  The osinterface that will ship with the X Series DDK does have these errors addressed. 

See this thread for information about when the X Series DDK should release.

http://forums.ni.com/t5/Driver-Development-Kit-DDK/X-Series-support-update/td-p/1145701/page/2

The problem is that DECLARE_MUTEX has changed to DEFINE_SEMIPHORE (its a pretty trivial change).  Also the vma_operations_struct member, .nopage, has been changed to .fault.  The changes to get the .fault member to work correctly is not trivial and required a little work.  I would recommend waiting for the new DDK to get the fixes.

I hope this helps!
