Yes, or if the kernel has the setns syscall backported - But as we
currently don't differ between build time (E.G. kernel headers) and
runtime (actual kernel), then that's all we can do.

And I don't think we should introduce the extra complexity to have
different symbols for kernel headers and runtime kernel versions.
