I do this in many parts of my code. Issue in this particular case is
different. In Vanila kernel this change appears in 2.6.33 and in Scientific
Linux this change appears in 2.6.32. So in addition to LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION,
I have to use some distribution specific #if.

I was wondwring what is general practice in this regard.
