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:
