Actually, discussion about this issue started 2 days ago. This is a post by
Ian Abott:

I think comedi-0.7.70 only supports up to kernel 2.6.10 (possibly 2.6.11 -
memory fails).  The CVS version currently supports up to kernel  2.6.15.x.
 The Linux kernel API keeps changing with each release and the  Comedi
drivers have to change to keep up with it (with various hacks to remain
compatible with earlier 2.6.x and 2.4.x kernels).
