Hi Baruch.
Problem is that makes it need a newish kernel which i don't like since
you can't always run the latest and greatest.
For instance i'm using it on a 3.10-ish based kernel at the moment and
if i did that i wouldn't be able to use it.
I suspect the same logic will apply to other users as well.
Regards.
