Hello,

For kernels which are too old for -stable, backporting is up to the
distros which hopefully are still maintaining the kernel (you really
don't want to run an unmaintained distro anyway).  The IDR changes
shouldn't be difficult to pick up and the best way to make that happen
would be filing a bug with the distro.

Thanks.
