Maybe instead of doing this we could increase the required kernel
version to 3.12 which appears to be where the patch was introduced?

Otherwise we may fail with TCONF because the format of the file has
slightly changed and I am worried that nobody will notice. I don't think
this will have been backported to earlier versions:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1312.0/04590.html

The rest LGTM. Thanks.
