Umm. Yeah.  Failure to update *all* the API calls you use is generally a
good way to make your kernel code bomb out.  Fortunately, we try very hard to
ensure that when an API is changed, it's either transparent (usually via
cpp #define wizardry) or the API is sufficiently different to change the
function signature enough to cause a compile error rather than silently failing
at runtime.
