--- Comment #3 from Ray Strode [halfline] <rstrode at redhat.com> ---
reintroducing that code would reintroduce the bug the commit was addressing,
right  ?  if we care about supporting 3.16 kernels, I think a better fall back
strategy would probably be to use shm_open instead (there's a patch for that on
bug 761095).  But, personally, I'm not convinced fall back makes sense !  

wayland is a chance to get away from technical baggage, so it seems a little
strange to me to try to work on platforms that don't offer features that have
been around for years.
