Older kernels (>= 2.6.29) have only incomplete compat(-include) support which will not be extended anymore. The next release will also share mostly the same code as kernel 4.6 and thus by definition is compatible with Linux 4.6.

It compiles against and should work -with Linux 2.6.29 - 4.5. Supporting older versions is not +with Linux 3.2 - 4.6. Supporting older versions is not planned, but it's probably easy to backport it.
