Bug#374792: Stuck with patching of testing

[Tim Van Holder <tim.vanholder@anubex.com>]

This issue is putting me in a position where I am unable to keep my
system up-to-date on testing, because libc is now dependent on a 2.6
kernel (and pretty much every newly released package now depends on that
libc).

Could someone tell me
- which is the last released 2.6 kernel that had proper support for this
  controller, and whether there are any major problems/incompatibilities
  with that kernel that I should be aware of? If there is one, then I
  can at least install and pin it to continue normal system updates.
- if I patch the current megaraid.c driver to recognize the controller's
  PCI IDs, are there any problems I can expect? I noticed that such a
  change was in the -mm series for a while, but google couldn't tell me
  why it was taken out.
