I think this is just too much detail for this section. If you think

Ok. Well, feel free to take it out then. In any case, I hope you will
apply some version of this patch. Let me know if I can do anything else.
I don't know what new chapter you have in mind, but I suggest applying the
patch for now (if it seems Ok with you) with the excessive detail about
the ABI removed and we can talk about it further if you wish,
See version 1.0.10.
Yes, I saw that when I checked your svn repos. You forgot (or
intentionally omitted, but if so, said nothing) to add the bit about the
linux-headers-common to 4.2. See the relevant portion of my patch below.
Otherwise I think you've covered the ground pretty well. The online
version isn't up to date yet, though.
By the way, there is a separate list for kernel-handbook at
kernel-handbook-gene...@lists.alioth.debian.org, though I'm not sure
whether it should remain a separate list.
Are you suggesting I use this? Are all interested parties subscribed?
