Hi Antonio
This is where you are fighting again the kernel process. The kernel
process does not care about older kernels, expect for patches flowing
into stable as bug fixes. So anybody from outside of BATMAN will not
supply such compat.[ch] changes.
Maybe its also time to evaluate the value of older kernels with newest
BATMAN? Is the pain worth the gain?
Andrew
