I don't understand, what is wrong with using 4.11 or newer if you want
to use statx?  That's an almost 2 year old kernel, no new devices better
be using an old/obsolete kernel like that and still wanting to use a
brand new version of QT at the same time.

And we do not backport new features to older kernels, you know this :)

thanks,
