Hi All, I have the answer of that general question.. :) afaik, this link has listed all the api's which linux kernel supports: http://www.gnugeneration.com/books/linux/2.6.20/kernel-api/
You can very well go through it and check for certain api availability. As a point to note, it has api s for 2.6.20 kernel. Enjoy!!
