Maybe I'm a little bit late... what will be the runtime result of this
patch be for 2.4.2 based linux programs in case they want to use this?

I don't know if they are allowed to use this call (= if such a call is
in 2.4.2), so maybe the answer is as simple as "they don't use it".

If the answer is something similar to "we are in trouble then", I
suggest to return ENOSYS in case of non 2.6.x emulation (we already
have infrastructure for this, so it's just checking a boolean value).

Bye,
Alexander.
