Thanks for the tip. Can you tell me which patches are needed?

Well, it could detect that the kernel version is under some version, issue
a Warning that a patch is required wrt vanilla kernel of same version, and
give a pointer to said patch -- that would completely solve the issue with

Thanks a lot for the support!
