I've given a diff to 2.6 vs. 2.4 UML trees, and discovered that the sources, in many sections, are pretty much the same. For instance, in the drivers folder we have many not forwarded diffs, and only one like that was a real difference between them(i.e. a change to use workqueues instead of task queues, IIRC). Do you think using a common code base and insulating the different things inside the 2_5compat.h header(since you created it, I suppose this was the meaning) would be a bad idea? If you saved all the diffs you applied it should be ok, however redoing any change probably isn't worth... -- cat <
