FWIW the LINUX_BACKPORT() stuff replaced RHEL specific changes, that
is, LINUX_BACKPORT() stuff extended the work that folks used to add
RHEL support making it more generic. This helps try to avoid clashes
with *any* Linux distribution trying to cherry pick features from the
kernel, so long as they don't use the same prefix for exported
symbols. I wonder if there's any more need for RHEL / SUSE specific
kernel checks now after LINUX_BACKPORT() stuff.
