standard for kernel version calculation?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  um ... would someone like to suggest a single standard for kernel
version comparison?  the (abridged) result of a recursive grep:

	if (get_kernel_revision() <= 2*65536+6*256)
	if (get_kernel_revision() < KRELEASE(2, 1, 0))
	if (get_kernel_revision() < MAKE_VERSION(2, 1, 117))
        if (get_kernel_revision() <= 66314

i'm thinking that perhaps just one of these variations would be
sufficient. :-)

p.s.  it's only *minimally* annoying that the funtion
get_kernel_revision() is contained in the source file
kernel_version.c.  perhaps one of these things could be renamed to
match the other?  but i won't make a big issue of it.
