If we add a global "enable 2.4 support" switch, then we should remember this 
is here.

I'm on the fence about whether a global "enable 2.6 support" switch makes 
sense.  Considering it won't ship in a release before December, so it's 
effectively 2007 by then, I'm leaning against it.  A 2.4 switch gives us 
something to hide devfs names and devfsd behind, and then the config option 
for the modutils stuff (which is the big one) can just become "Support 2.4 
only" to disable 2.6 support, and that switch can be guarded by the global 
enable 2.4 support switch.  That's the only case I can think of where 2.6 
support is a signifcant chunk of code that 2.4 doesn't need...

This has nothing to do with nmeter. :)

I'll take a closer look at it (and probably merge it) this weekend.
