This is probably longer then you want but here's my $0.10 :)

Grab a vanilla source tree from www.kernel.org, build yourself a kernel 
or two for a PC, try removing as much stuff as you can and build it 
specific to your PC and it's needs.  Then grab the TS source for their 
2.6 kernel (2.6.24 I think?) and check out it's .config.  You can copy 
that .config to your 2.6.29 tree and run make oldconfig which will ask 
you about any new options in 2.6.29, or do it by hand in menuconfig and 
see if your 2.6.29 tree really is a TS release.
