It's only dangerous for 2.6.10-ac or the kernels which have the
corresponding bugfix in __bio_clone() (which exposes the bug in drbd).
OTOH, drbd 0.7.8 crashes on those kernels anyway.
There's also a small workaround for that in drbd SVN already, so if you
pull the latest and push it upstream instead, you don't have to remove
the previous submission, just overwrite it.
