When porting to a newer Linux distribution you need to:
A) port the user / system utilities
B) port the kernel

To port the kernel you "basically" do the following:
1) Generate diff against the Linux kernel that OpenSSI is based on.
2) Apply diff against new Linux kernel.
3) Fix patch rejects.
4) Fix compilation issues.
5) Fix runtime issues.

You may need to modify OpenSSI for the new kernel.  So it would help to
research changes to various subsystems and API in the newer kernel that may
affect OpenSSI.

SF.net SVN repository contains Stan's attempt to port OpenSSI to
linux-2.6.18.
