There is always some sort of prereq when new features get added. Documentation/Changes has a long list. Some setup need more updates, some need fewer updates. No idea what your experience is. Old klibc was trivial to build (modulo that kernel header mess), and I expect that kinit handles old kernels. > * Makes it easier to move stuff between kernel and userspace. What do you have in mind here? Once prepare_namespace is gone, there is no userspace code left.
