This is seriously annoying, and is something that the lkml mailing list
operators have said they will start blocking soon.  Please remember it.

I don't understand, what in this patch is needed for older kernels?
This patch only fixes a bug that was preventing uevents from being sent
to userspace.

Also, we don't support older kernel versions in the in-kernel version of
the code, that just does not make any sense, and is why all of that old
stuff was ripped out.
