Well the sources I downloaded from kernel.org certainly appear that they
should work based on the source code.  I didn't try them though.

Did you look at your include/linux/smp.h for that function?  I would
love to know what yours contains.

Perhaps I am looking at the wrong one.  It could be some architectures
use their own variant somehow.  If so, changing the check to 2.6.27
instead of 2.6.29 should fix it.
