If that is true we might have a discussion with Red Hat to see whether we can
have those symbols as part of the kABI whitelist. Let's find out :-)
There are symbols missing from the whitelist, so there was no way to use kABI-tracking
modules "cleanly". That being said, it probably would have worked. If someone
has the time, it would be really interesting to force the module built for the SL5.0 GA
kernel into -194.8.1 and see whether that works.
The guy in charge at Red Hat (Jon Masters) seems very openminded, so talking to
them is certainly worth the effort. I have my doubts though whether there's any
chance to have the whitelist extended while it still matters.
Jon requested we file bugs for missing symbols for the third party kmod
drivers we have built. Please feel free to use the existing bug to
report/log further symbols:
