That looks OK to me. I cannot test it either :-)

I just saw

https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-fglrx/fglrx-driver/trunk/debian/patches/12-4.3.0-build.patch?revision=1549&view=markup

which seems to handle this issue for fglrx.

(but fglrx causes a kernel null pointer dereference in 4.3, not sure
whether it is related to this stuff)

Comments?
