From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch series deals with the project that aims at backporting the Linux kernel [0]. If you don't care for that, at least read this and patch #1, the rest you can nuke. Ben reports compat_ namespace is already taken by the kernel, and while this is slightly true, I rather just deal with this now and avoid any future issues. I've chosen backport_. Any nay's? I've broken this set for easier review to one per kernel backported. Each patch is test compiled with ckmake [1] for kernels 2.6.24 - 3.9. I've then test compiled all this against compat-drivers-2013-03-15, which sucks in Ethernet, 802.11 Bluetooth, and DRM video drivers against linux-next tag next-20130315 and it all went fine for all kernels 2.6.24 - 3.9. I suppose the next set here, if we really are adamant about any possible namespace issues (is it necessary?) is to use include/linux/backport/ instead of include/linux/compat/ and likewise rename the compat module to backports as with COMPAT_* macros. I'm sending these as RFCs in hopes to get reviews / testing prior to any radical change, but more importantly in hopes anyone who cares for maintaining a Linux distribution will review.
