Just that I've seen video input and DSP bridge patches
getting nearly mergeable, so that ancient -- or more to
the point, non-mainline -- kernels should stop being the
only option for folk who need their DaVinci systems to
do Real Work (video processing).

Of course, I'm told there are "supported" kernels more
recent than 2.6.10 (which shipped late 2004) too.  If
it shipped after much mid-2006, it should have some
version of the RTC framework ... and lots of other bits
that have improved since 2.6.10 shipped.
