I got the impression that the first poster was asking for user-level 2.4 -> 2.6 migration HOWTO info, not kernel API changes. (such as "be sure that all of those CONFIG_INPU_options are enabled!")
I began keeping 2.5 kernel API changes very early, but then I ran out of time; there were just so many of them, coming too fast. Here are the early ones: http://www.xenotime.net/linux/linux-port-25x.html
