Yes, v2.6.20-236-g43cb76d was merged into v2.6.21-rc1.
I started to create a compat lib with the new kobject stuff, but as you have
done it already... nice reaction time ;)
The v2.6.20 stuff seems even more tricky as the data stored in the structs was
changed too. The new stuff looks nice, but it gets really ugly if we want to
support both.
Best regards.
