How about the patch below?
Since I would expect that this is going to happen a lot of times as
soon as some distro starts to compile the kernel with e.g. only z9-109
and higher support we indeed need a magic number here.
Otherwise we can't tell immediately what's going wrong.

I was looking into it and came around with the exact same patch - only
with a different magic - but I'll let you all decide on that !

So yes, that looks great !

Thanks,
