I'm not quite sure I understand what this particular logic is useful
for.  If we're removing 2.4 support (which I'm fairly relaxed about)
then it seems as though this whole "kernel_majorversion" thing can and
should just go away.  

Or, alternatively, perhaps it should be mapped into a more abstract kind
of "kernel epoch" thing which treats 2.6 and 3.0 as basically the same.
