It's always used the sysfs interface on LE, and the only way to provoke
it to attempt the syscalls is by doing something like this before
running the migration:

# echo 0 > /tmp/fake_api_version
# mount -o bind,ro /tmp/fake_api_version /sys/kernel/mobility/api_version

So I'm not aware of any circumstance that would actually motivate
someone to make it work on LE. I'd say it's more likely that drmgr will
drop its support for using the syscall altogether.
