This module and the running kernel are not compatible with each other.

The CVE-2010-3081 fixes added to every distro kernel (and also to the latest
stable kernels) changed the internal API and ABI.  Anything that uses
compat_alloc_user_space() needs to be recompiled, possibly with some source
fixes (header file moved from "asm/compat.h" to "linux/compat.h").
