If anyone's backported the parts that aren't specific to 2.6, they've
not (yet) posted information about it here.

The best you can hope for on 2.4 is lots of functional testing with
different "known good devices" (there's no list I've ever heard of)
which have "known good" Linux drivers (which with 2.4.21 will be
hard to come by, they've all had bugfixes since then).

This is one reason we strongly encourage folk to use Linux 2.6 for
USB ... one of the goals of the extensive revisions was to support
testability for the USB controller drivers.  The tests may not get
run on every release (the LTP folk are concerned with other stuff,
the USB developers don't have the time), but IMO they've nonetheless
made a bit difference in terms of robustness and consistency.
