I think this is the correct way to solve the problem.  An alternative
is to include appropriatly modified copies of headers from the
different kernels we support, but I'm not sure if that's a 12 oz
can or the giant 128 oz can of worms.

(And, by the way, this change is necessary for powerpc as well.)
