It's a few conditional branches (that are already present in the default
--enable-kernel=2.6.16 configuration) in order to avoid another regression
(namely, the change to 2.6.32 default causing features to be assumed by
default when they aren't present). But if you'd prefer the latter, I can
drop the SPARC parts of this patch and bug 9894 can be left open for
32-bit SPARC after the default version changes.
