That would not be a massive loss, but removing linux 2.4 support is more
than a few hunks here and there, so this may not be the right thing to
do ATM. Besides, it would be better not to leave the few linux 2.4 users
out there without upgrade path to xenomai 2.6, since this will be the
last maintained version from the Xenomai 2.x architecture.

That stuff does not compile likely because the Config.in bits are not up
to date, blame it on me. I'll make this build over linux 2.4 and commit
the result today.
