I really don't understand why changing condition from
        < 3.14.0
to
        < 3.13.8
would be better?
This function appeared in 3.14.0. Maybe that Ubuntu backported it for their
12.04 version, so it must be handled with a specific Ubuntu check as it was
already done for Ubuntu 14.04:
        #if (!(UBUNTU_RELEASE_CODE == UBUNTU_RELEASE_VERSION(14,4) &&
        UBUNTU_KERNEL_CODE >= UBUNTU_KERNEL_VERSION(3,13,0,30,54)))

Please help to improve what is done in master branch by providing patches.

Note: please do not top post and try to use cite mark '>'
