Although functionality is not backported often to the enterprise kernels (e.g.
SLES, RHEL), certain things are backported, e.g. [1]. And that is the reason why
LTP even has a way to detect enterprise kernel [2]. Obviously the easiest thing
is to avoid kernel version if there is way to detect functionality by different
way.

Kind regards,
