I just see that on the kernel before v2.6.39, the "defrag"
interface is "[yes] no" or "yes [no]"(eg. RHEL6). While it's changed
to boolean after commit e27e6151b154 in v2.6.39-rc4.

So, you should deal with the multi-style interface of this "defrag",

+               SAFE_FILE_SCANF(cleanup, PATH_KHPD "defrag", "%ld", &defrag);

Thanks,
Wanlong Gao
