* src/dd.c (skip_via_lseek): Drop wrapper function no longer needed.
(skip): Use lseek() directly.
(advance_input_after_read_error): Use lseek() directly.

To clarify, the kernel is warning, not dd.
In general the kernel should be disallowing rather than warning I think.
But yes this is old code that should no longer be needed.
I'll apply the patch.
