One is that Mauro translated almost all of the V4L1 radio card drivers to V4L2. The changes are all very repetitive, but it made a huge diffstat: 15 files changed, 1758 insertions(+), 918 deletions(-) The second source is the dvb_attach() system, which was not supposed to go in 2.6.18, it was for 2.6.19. 74 files changed, 827 insertions(+), 622 deletions(-) The dvb_attach() stuff isn't ready for 2.6.18, it hasn't been tested at all and it's a very significant change. The ISA radio card drivers.... I don't think they are used very much anymore.
