You mean - like actually define an interface and stick to it at least through
a kernel major revision number?
Hear hear! Being able to do:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,22)
and having that work properly on both Linus and RedHat kernels would be
a huge win. Right now for openswan, these are all off-by-one for
RedHat kernels.
