#ifdef is okay for this.  Actually we can probably remove abi 10 support 
since the F7 kernel now supports the modern ABI (I don't think anybody 
else uses abi 10, which is pre 2.6.22 when we announced ABI compatibility.

Jeremy, is removing abi 10 support fine with you?  I note that both the 
kernel supports the new ABI and F7 userspace doesn't require it, so 
we're fine on both counts.
