Andrew, Do you intend to apply Olaf's patchsets to eliminate linux/version.h? Some of them will not apply, because, at -mm2, KERNEL_VERSION isn't used anymore. Maybe I can generate a patchset for V4L eliminating version.h, if you want, against latest version. Mauro. Ori

The following series of patches removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3 #defines are unused in most of the touched files. A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is unfortunatly in linux/version.h. This define moved to linux/utsname.h There are also lots o
