OK, I knew I'd be beaten sooner or later by that one! Thanks for the patch!

I would push it a little bit further, and add a new option that will enable
to either use the version from the kernel headers, or specify the smallest
version to be supported:
  [*] Use headers version for minum kernel version supported

which gives, if un-selected:
  [ ] Use headers version for minum kernel version supported
  (2.6.9) Minimum kernel version supported

Is there a good reason why 2.6.9 is a _sane_ default over other versions?
