Given a kernel version and ABI number how do we find the release it is from?

Given just the kernel version and ABI number you should be able to find the exact release the kernel was from. For example the 2.6.32-20 kernel is a v2.6.32 based kernel and is in the range 0-99. This will be recorded as the 2.6.32-0 kernel series in the Kernel/Dev/TopicBranches mapping tables (see Current Branches). Once you have the release and branch you can obtain the source.
