you need to apply a patch for it. However, what I have done is I manually
probe it in my init script and it works fine.  The reason I do so is
because
I would like to keep my kernel source as clean as possible so if there is
a patch to upgrade the kernel to the later version I can do it w/o any
hassle.

Please email me directly for the address of that patch, I dont have it
handy now but I can pull it up for you once I got home..

cheers
