Hi,

I'm new. I was hoping to tackle some really easy stuff on the TODO, and I came across something that sounded simple, but didn't have a lot of description.

In what cases can code that depends on LINUX_VERSION_CODE and KERNEL_VERSION < 2.4 be deleted? Or is this just a really old entry in the TODO that has already been taken care of?

Thanks!

drivers/scsi had lots of it due to bsd compat layer. there still seem to be some occurences around.

it's mostly only an old entry that has already been taken care of.

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
