How much testing did you have?

As I really would like that (less work for me :) I do not think this is 
possible. First thing - 2.4 compatibility in 2.6 kernel would seem weird to 
say at least. Second - I've ripped out kernel code where I could and used 
glibc includes instead - this is (a) The Right Thing (tm) and (b) practically 
undoable inside kernel or would require huge amounts of work, which is really 
better of left outside.
