Here's another good reason for using a pre-2.6 kernel for BL3:

ZDNet UK reports that Andrew Morton, the head maintainer of
the Linux production kernel, is concerned about the amount
of bugs in the 2.6 kernel. He is considering the possibility
of dedicating an entire release cycle to fixing long standing
bugs. One problem is that few developers are motivated to work
on bugs, according to Morton. This is particularly a problem
for bugs that affect old computers or peripherals.

Cheers,
Steven
