You could look for use of the KERNEL_VERSION macro, that usually tells you if there's a compatibility layer. A quick grep shows that only 34 C files of all 3355 C files in the drivers/ directory use the KERNEL_VERSION macro. That makes sense because compatibility layers for in-kernel drivers are frowned upon. > Is it only the entry point that differs or something else gives the > clue? A lot more changed. Think about the driver model, for example. See http://lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting/ for articles that tell you how to port 2.4 drivers to 2.6, that should give you a clue.
