[Bug runtime/7052] New: branch upstream-only runtime code

[mhiramat at redhat dot com]

I think we could branch git tree only for upstream kernel. that is good for
upstream kernel developers.

In this branch, we should;
- remove all autoconf-*.
- use new kernel functions/macros.

Then, it could be easy to port upstream kernel.

But which upstream kernel exactly?
How many of these branches should we maintain and/or distribute with systemtap?

I think the latest -rc is good enough.

Just one branch is enough, and update that code against the latest kernel.
It's a kind of launch-pad for upstream code merging.

 I think just having one branch is a good idea. But we could keep tagging it to
the kernel versions in the same branch so that a person trying to use a previous
 kernel would still have a way to use this branch (if and only if the latest
systemtap at that time wouldn't work on a previous kernel)

This is unlikely in the near term.
