I'm actually surprised it wasn't there already.:

Recent mails said it'd rather be 3.16

Well, I'm not sure it's actually useful to mention the kernel version
at all actually. Mentioning the precise version (3.16) seems really
pointless at least.

I would rather patch into "Linux 2.4 and further". The functionality is
not to go away any time soon, even in a 4.x etc. timeframe.

I wouldn't even mention the version: I've seen /proc for as long as I
can remember.

I'd rather patch into "Linux 2.6 and further", I don't think /sys is to
go away.
