 There is one worry: it needs a kernel >= 4.2. However, I expect most of our
modules packages have some kind of kernel dependency, and none of them encode
it. It's also hard to do since we don't have a way to know the kernel version.
It could be worthwhile, however, to mention this minimum kernel version in the
help text.

 So

	  This module needs a Linux kernel >= v4.2.
