Is there a reason not to continue calling the function __kernel_standard
and build a compat variant named __kernel_standard_compat to preserve the
legacy behavior (with similar additions to this variable).

Anyhow, that change should be done on its own.  Its a trivial change to
this patch.

I'm happy to oblige there.  Do you happen to know the reason for the odd
naming?
