I'm trying to compile this new version for Debian, I have compiled it using the headers from 2.6.7-rc1 and also using libsysfs 1.1.0. After getting it compiled I tested it in a machine with a 2.6.6 kernel, and thus without latest kernel changes, I have found a lot of things that in this kind of configuration didn't work and some others that looked a bit ugly to me...
