We have a fix for this in our local tree. On inspection, this looks like it only fixes things for Ubuntu 14.04 but not for anything else.
We're not supporting Ubuntu directly quite yet. One of the things we were waiting for is a kernel ABI version that Canonical added in the middle of the 14.04LTS.

"kcompat.h" should include an if condition that if the OS in use is Ubuntu, to use the patched entries, else use the current entries.
