I keep getting asked about kernel versions and android releases at
work too.

I keep telling people that the only kernel requirements any version of
Android has are that its a 2.6 kernel (for bionic) and it has a small
set of patches (binder, logger, wakelocks, ashmem, and perhaps a few
others that the user stack assumes or are needed for security
enhancements)  But, every couple of weeks the question comes in again.

Your hardware needs the newest kernel you can get booting as early in
the effort as you can have it.  But, that's not an android
requierment.

I would like it if the google android team could help clear up what I
think are the erroneous assumptions regarding kernel versions needed
for different versions of android.
