Bug#802188: bochs: Support building under Linux 4.x
Package: bochs
Version: 2.6-4
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Hi,
The configure script checks `uname -r` and checks for 2.6 or 3.x, etc.,
rejecting any others. but the latest kernel version at the time of
writing is 4.2.3. Severity serious as this therefore will FTBFS under
your typical developer system running sid.
A patch is attached that reverses this logic, rejecting 2.2 and
essentially allowing anything 2.6+.
Regards,
