I haven't moved anything out of shared, it's all paralleled in shared-core. 90% of the changes are from DRM() macro removal. I did eliminate one header file for each device since I kept deleting things until they were empty.
2.4 is a bigger question to me. For example 2.6 is adding the idr_xxx support for dealing with dynamic minors. 2.6 also has a new system for /proc files. Another one is the cdev support for partially reserving minors. There are lot's of sysfs changes needed too.
Maybe we should fork linux-core into linux-core-2.4 and linux-core-2.6 before it drifts too far from being able to run on 2.4. I suspect linux-core would compile on 2.4 right now with minor changes. Or is it better just to declare 2.4 finished as is?
That sounds like a good option to me. I'm sure some people will still have 2.4 boxes around for awhile longer. I suspect we'll deprecate 2.4 faster than we did 2.2, but I think we need to keep it on the "active" support list for a bit longer.
That said, I've been running the core stuff on a couple boxes for most of the week, and I like it.
