It won't work without my patch.  If this file is unneeded, why not just
removing it?

What do you use LINUX_VERSION for?  The version in /proc/version is intended
to match with the implementation in the same version of Linux procfs.  It's
unrelated to other kernel features.  So for what linprocfs is concerned, we're
Linux 2.4, for what RT signals are concerned, we're Linux 2.0, etc.

Even the linprocfs implementation is far from complete.  I don't think we're
safe claiming anything other than 2.0 in /proc/version.
