This is fine for now.

Thanks for the note, both patches applied. For rfkill we'll need
someone brave and with time to backport it... as rfkill has been
re-written. The easiest solution is to revert the patches for older
kernels through compat.diff. That is add #ifdefs and for old kernel
revisions use the old stuff, for new kernels (as of 2.6.31) leave the
code in place.
