Please see patch 1/13 and 2/13. They fix the kernel ABI to support new
ABS_* bits (the current ABI is broken in that regard). As this is
quite critical and caused breaks during the last merge-window, we
haven't merged it yet. I hope to get it into 3.14, though. The current
patches seem fine and work for me. I will try to get the user-space
part working in the next weeks.

Any help is welcome!

Thanks
David
