Somewhat unrelated, since I see calls to kernel_is() in your patch:

That function has a horrible hack for version comparison:

    : $(( test = (KV_MAJOR << 16) + (KV_MINOR << 8) + KV_PATCH ))
    : $(( value = (${1:-${KV_MAJOR}} << 16) + (${2:-${KV_MINOR}} << 8) + ${3:-${KV_PATCH}} ))
    [ ${test} ${operator} ${value} ]

There are versions like gentoo-sources-4.9.280, so the shift by 8 may
cause surprising results.

I'll send a patch later.
