Description

This problem is related to LU-4012.
Kernel version 2.6.36 does not contain in net/sunrpc/cache.c the functions
cache_register_net/cache_unregister_net which are integrated in
LU-4012 for newer kernels (>= 3.4).

To provide compatibility for kernel versions 2.6.36 (used in 2.5 and 2.6) one needs
a compatibility macro.

I will provide a patch to fix thos.
