If I want to try to rework this myself so that the main code is going to 
be usable upstream, but it still works with older kernels, is there a 
suggested approach. Using the old names in the main code using macros 
to make it work isn't going to fly upstream. I'm not sure that replicating 
large chunks of code in compat is a good idea either.
