No, it isn't. Where did you read that? It might be that *distributions*
patch the 2.4.21 kernels they are packaging with i2c 2.8.0, but it isn't
part of the vanilla sources.

No, it won't.

You're invited to point your browser to:
http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/
and read carefully everything that is written there. You'll find the
patches you need to be able to use i2c-2.8.x and still have bttv
working. Basically, all you'll have to do is patch your kernel sources
using one of the provided patches (i2c 2.8.0 for Linux 2.4.21 or i2c
2.8.1 for Linux 2.4.22), then installing lm_sensors (same version as
i2c) will be done as usual.

Let us know how it work for you.
