Regarding the comment, "use only on older kernels", why only on older
kernels?  What classifies as an older kernel--pre-3.0?  pre-3.3?  If you
don't use this on new kernels, is there an alternative or is it now
dynamically allocated as I've seen rumored will happen?

I'd be very interested in seeing this, if you could post a URL perhaps?
