Hey Sven,
actually I wanted an ugly macro which keeps the kernel version check in the compat.h only - I tried my luck based on your patch, but i failed miserably... I just can't tame the preprocessor. Sorry. :D
I'm fine with dropping the support for < 2.6.29, it does not hurt me both personally and professionally. I don't know if there is anyone who uses old kernels and can't patch back themselves.
As a compromise, we might upload compat patches on open-mesh.org for release versions of batman-adv. No maintaining, just "best effort service". We keep some more unmaintained patches there too [1]. What do you think?
Is there anyone using old kernels?
best regards, Simon

The sendmail killed my comment. So here it is again:
This is just a small note... but it is completely unacceptable for the kernel folks. d0tslash wanted to have "another ugly compat.h macro" - so he can continue here.
Kind regards, Sven
