I can try to give you an example. I re-released the Linux-AFS kernel module 9 times for various 2.0.x kernels. I should note that I chose not to support every 2.0.x kernel, generally because sometimes a second new kernel was released before I finished releasing a module, so I chose to use the most recent kernel. As a result, there are undoubtedly hidden incompatibilities that my list doesn't show. There were also cases where adjacent kernels _did_ work, but I don't have those details here, either. FWIW, Linux 2.0.36 works with the 2.0.35 kernel module.
Here are the various 2.0.x kernels for which I released Linux-AFS:
2.0.4 2.0.11 2.0.12 2.0.18 2.0.21 2.0.29 2.0.30 2.0.32 2.0.35
Gee, 9/36 -- 25% success rate, not bad. ;-)
