Thanks for the feedback.

We have a script we run that checks to see if any of the kernel symbols 
that the package uses have changed since the last kernel release, 
commonly referred to as kABI breakage.

The method the kernel uses to hash function prototypes is not perfect, 
but it's good enough in 99% of cases. Your looks like one of those 1% of 
cases that slip through the net, and we are unable to detect without 
having the physical hardware to actually test.
