I'm testing various different kernels and I'd like to keep omhacks
compatible with as many of them as reasonably possible. I'm still
using 2.6.29 as my "stable" boot menu entry followed by 2.6.34 as
"testing" and 2.6.37 as "experimental".

Sorry, I think I missed this patch when I read your mail for the first
time and now I can't find it anymore. I clicked through the emails at

http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2011-January/thread.html

but can't find it. Which mail did I miss?

Can you recommend some strategy for supporting both 2.6.29 and 2.6.3x
in omhacks? The first idea is the following pseudocode:

def rotate(idx):
 if read("resolution") in ["vga", "qvga"]:
   new_api=True
 if new_api:
  write("resolution", ["vga", "qvga"][idx])
 else
  write("resolution", ["normal", "normal-qvga"][idx])
