can i simply "re-version" the kernel down to 2.x?

  for reasons that don't need explaining, i need to rebuild my current
3.0.0... kernel so that it returns a "uname" version number of
"2.whatever".  i simply have an app i want to run that checks the
output of "uname" and if it doesn't see a major number of "2", it goes
a bit squirrelly.

  there's no *technical* reason i can see for the app to be that
restrictive, so i was just going to hack the top level Makefile of my
git clone and label this as a 2.99.99 kernel.  is there anything that
would break because of that kind of hackery?
