Some of the GPL issues have changed since (d_obtain_alias is no longer GPL only), but last time I checked a few years ago there were still sunrpc and maybe other functions that were still off limits. For newer kernels, it's also very likely that this code has bit-rotted and needs some TLC before it will compile and run, since it's been excluded from the build for a long time.
