    Looks like this may be the case, or simply the attribute was never
exported and I just imagined it was. I've tested with Ubuntu kernels
(just to see if it was MY kernel the culprit) and the same happens, so
probably I was entirely wrong about the attribute.

    Thanks a lot for your answer :) imagined it was. I've tested with
Ubuntu kernels (just to see if it was MY kernel the culprit) and the
same happens, so probably I was entirely wrong about the attribute.

    Thanks a lot for your answer :)
