I have a vendor provided device driver for a piece of PCIe hardware that compiles and runs in kernel-3.14 but is outdated for the newer kernel-4.1X series. I’m not a kernel developer and haven’t done any real kernel work since the 2.4/2.6 days and am totally lost while undressing pressure to make it work ASAP. Can I post code excepts and get help here, or is there a better mailing list?

The linux-api mailing list is for "Kernel-userland interface change discussion."
It's more about userspace software interfaces to the kernel, not about driver
interfaces.
What kind of PCIe device is it? If it's something like non-volatile storage,
there are a couple of mailing lists that would be appropriate.
If it's USB (I doubt it), then the linux-usb mailing list would be better.
If it's a camera, the multimedia/video4linux mailing list would probably be better.
If there is no clear place to ask, then the linux-pci mailing list would be a
reasonable fallback.
