the other serious question is.. how is IRQ_HANDLER_V3 different
from a #ifdef VERSION >= 2.6.24 .....
it's not really ;)

Note my mention of backport -- kernel version isn't relevant when the various enterprise distros have random featuresets under random

kernel versions.

yeah and THEY can put the defines in (RH used to do this fwiw as a
generic "this is a RH kernel" define)....

but afaik no distro vendor backports such an api change nowadays... and
hasn't in 2.6 ever

People backport drivers all the time that must support a wide range of kernels.
