Wasn't aware of it.  Looks like it requires a kernel patch.

I wasn't talking about packaging; I agree that dh-kpatches makes the job
easy.  However, it requires more effort and commitment from the user.  I am
always reluctant to use software which requires that I rebuild my kernel and
reboot in order to use it, and do the same for any other machine on which I
choose to use it.
