Yeah.. then the patch cannot be applied.

You'd know better, we use compat down to 2.6.22 in compat-wireless but
last I tried I believe I was able to compile compat even on older
kernels.

Sure, you can try building compat-wireless as an example but
compat-wireless only goes down to 2.6.22 (IIRC) and compat goes down
to older kernels. Either way, if you take compat down to older than
2.6.22 we'll be good. So you can test anything you care about older
than 2.6.22 and anything above for sure.
