That might be the best option. There is a pending pull request for the DVFS stuff to get included into 2.6.38. Don't know if that includes everything we need for a working DVFS on n900 though. And then there is a new nokia/2.6.37- rc8-n900 branch in nokias kernel tree. So things are moving. I'm willing to spend time on a new kernel for n900 soon. But for sure don't want to spend time into backporting stuff to the old maemo kernel, as I consider it a dead end and thus lost time. That all does not answer the question which kernel we want to use for n900 *today* though. From the things that don't work with the old kernel in your feature list IMO the missing gpio buttons is the one hurting me most. It makes the power button not work and thus no nice quick-settings on button press. Maybe we should give the 2.6.37-rc8 one a try? I could do that within in the next days.
