<pre>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

href="show_bug.cgi?id=761095">bug 761095</a>). 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.</pre>
