You didn't read http://www.kernel.org/  ??

There is a nice section on the first page stating:


Reporting Linux Kernel bugs

Please see http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html 
if you want to report a Linux kernel bug. Bug reports sent to the 
kernel.org administrators will be ignored.

There is now a bugzilla setup at bugzilla.kernel.org. Currently this is 
for reporting kernel version 2.6 bugs only.
