I'm sorry if I'm mistaken, or if this comes across as awfully rude but didn't you ask the same question back in March? Did you have a look at the replies from then to see if that could help with this issue?
Also you can search within the kernel by entering '/' a search field will come up, and if you know part of the name (past thread of same title should reveal that), you should be able to locate it.

Hope it helps
