You may need to upgrade the kernel to get new features offered by a

I'd really prefer that we maintain compatibility with the older kernels.
Heavy btrfs usage is going to want a newer kernel anyway, but this is an
important policy to keep in place for the future.
I agree.
Especially since Wang went to the trouble of making the patch, I'd
rather take it.
What do you think about adding #ifdef's around the code? That way we'll
know that's for backwards compatibility only and up to what kernel
version. It will be easier to remove it in the far future.
Sounds a good idea, would you describe it more specific so that
i can give a v2.^_^
Thanks，
Wang
