At least in case of RHEL, such backports never were automatic. In any
case, RHEL 2.1 and 3 do not receive new drivers anymore. We only do
bugfixes if something comes up. Realistically speaking, 2.4 kernels
are just too old for anyone to use. So, I think it would be best for
you to think in terms of Willy's tree only.

Did you verify if this works? We use pre-swapped descriptors in 2.4.
I suspect you allocate 256 times more memory than necessary.

The above very clearly is a use-after-free, in case the device was
open across a disconnect. Solution: Use minor_table_mutex to lock
dev->open_count instead of dev->sem. There's no rule that the lock
has to live inside the same structure with members it locks.
