Hm, I thought you were a kernel hacker, but guess not since that would
be a really weird thing for a kernel hacker to say :)  Problem is that
there's no handler in your kernel to convert your flag poking to sd_llc
poking.

I could send you a patchlet, but that ain't gonna work, neither that nor
the commit I pointed out will seep into the kernel via osmosis.  There
should be a kernel hacker somewhere near you, look down the hall by the
water cooler, when you find one, he/she should be able to help.
