  The referenced bug is about pulling in some up-to-date drivers.

  Kernel module authors who need to work with many different kernel
  versions deal with renames like this by using the KERNEL_VERSION
  macros to determine which wrappers/stubs/whatever to include in a
  particular build. However, because of this above change, which wasn't
  included in upstream kernels until 3.14 (while Trusty is 3.13(+extra
  magic)) this won't work.

  I propose you add a compatibility macro. Luckily, it's a straight
  rename, so this should be simple enough.
