sure, but building binaries against older headers shouldn't generally produce
a broken binary when run under newer kernels.  imo there's a reasonable middle
ground to be had here.  duplicating the entire header base to protect ourselves 
against things is certainly crazy.  it'll be a judgement call every time we run
into these things.
