> These are expected since you need to have the changes in kernel that were committed with this patch to be installed on the kernel on which this is being compiled/run on. That is what the test is for, and the check to make it run on previous kernels as well was made a runtime check. Do you expect this to compile on a kernel without the corresponding kernel changes that were committed with this patch?
