2.6.20 to 2.6.21 is not a major version change, it's a minor one, and a
single step minor change at that. 2.4 to 2.6 is a major change when
oldconfig should not be used, but I've been using it since 2.6.verylow
and the only time it caused a problem was when the SATA config was moved
(which oldconfig was never designed to handle).

.20 to .21 (and then .22) had zero problems with oldconfig.
