 I can understand the reason for disabling the kernel side by default, but 
the latter seems like a gratuitous change to me, only to make people's 
life harder.  It wasn't like the dropping of a huge pile of hairy hard to 
maintain code, but merely the removal of a pair of "case 2" labels from a 
switch statement.  After all there isn't much to be done here on the user 
side as all the handling is in the kernel anyway.  I'll see if I can chase 
the rationale.

 Thanks for the heads-up!
