IMHO you should get out a 0.9.1final and sync the stock kernel before... If and only IF 1.0 will change the IOP again I don't want to see it all in stock 2.4.0 - the stable series should stay backward compatible. Otherwise: just relese 1.0 and send the diffs to Alan and Linus - if they think you changes are ok they will merge it. Vendors interested in having 1.0 in their kernels will put it in anyway.
