The reasons for "Linux 3.0" are - "the numbers are getting too big" (2.6.40) - the 2.6 prefix has no meaning, and 3.0 for a release and 3.0.1 for a bugfix release is shorter than 2.6.40 anf 2.6.40.1 - some products are "linux 2.6 ready" when they support linux 2.6.9. - Linux is now 30 years old (more or less), so "3.0" sounds nice. The original reason though was the first one: Linus thought that the number 40 is just too big. Except the name and the usual changes, there is absolutely nothing new about this release.
