ABI change in fix for CVE-2008-5029
The fix for CVE-2008-5029[1], part of 2.6.26.8, changes the ABI.
We have verified that this issue affects the etch kernels as well and
I'm currently testing a backport for 2.6.18.
Because this affects a significant number of symbols, it doesn't look
to me like a safe thing to ignore w/ the #ifdef __GENKSYMS__ trick, so
its looking like we need to increment the ABI for the stable kernels,
and perhaps the lenny kernel. Do others on the team have a different
opinion?
