N9 is using 2.6.32 kernel while current stable kernel release is 3.5.4.

A simple answer is yes and no. It all depends on how it's done. It does have a potential of bringing great benefits and even features to N9/950
Looks great!
Looking forward to it

[update:]
2 different patches have been sent to linux-omap, can also be solved by using CONFIG_SOC_OMAP3430 (as it only influences USB and is in no way specific to 3430. This option will be removed though at some point in time.)
Everything should get much easier once USB networking is fully working

I admit I'm a noob on these things, so I have to ask, politely.
Will this kernel only be available as OpenMode or will it run as the one provided by Nokia on the device, with Aegis and stuff?

The plan as far as I understand is for an fully open kernel No Aegis and ect. But don't quote me on that. This kernel might be used for mer as well.
As MER does not come with kernel and atm various Mer images are based on old 2.6.32 maemo kernel.

If you want more information feel free to visit IRC channel, It's filled with helpful people, they'll be more than happy to answer any question you might have, All links are in the first post

You might build a kernel that is usable with a hacked version of Harmattan where in addition of the normal aegis-neutering you need to remove quite a lot of stuff from the OS that uses the aegis interfaces in kernel (or you could port back those as dummy interfaces to the 3.x.x kernel... I have not tried that.)

There are precompiled binaries but none of the abovenmentioned stuff of course exists in those so you need to roll your own.

Building the kernel is pretty straighthtforward, on a debian based linux you need to install ARM cross-compilation tools (but no scratchbox et al is needed), for example "apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi"

Then get the source via git pull or download the zips from github.
(https://github.com/nemomobile/kernel-adaptation-n950-n9)

Compiling is fairly simple when you have the source tree correctly set up;
  • 1.) do your modifications to source and configuration files
  • 2.) configure the options; "make clean; make mrproper; ARCH=arm make rm696_nemo_defconfig" ## this is for the base configuration
  • 3.) "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make"
  • 4.) "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make modules_install"
  • 5.) copy modules to device, do not forget to "depmod -a <mod_dir>"
  • 6.) flash the beast to your device
