OK, thanks for the explanation.

I wonder if it would be possible to have branches for each kernel
version in the code.google.com repo?  I build kdbus against a number
of kernels and trying to chase down different repos and patch sets to
match might get to be a chore.  I mean, I'm all for doing closet
development to get stuff ready for upstream but it's hard for others
to keep up when the closet keeps moving :)
