After a private conversation with J. Bruce Fields I figured out that
I have not been quite there yet. So here comes a FTR post what
exactly caused my problem.
It is the following change:
$ git diff d9c2ede63c74048dfddbb129c59ac01176b0ab71 bbf43dc888833ac0539e437dbaeb28bfd4fbab9f

}
Reverting this change on recent kernels makes them work for me again.
