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.
