Trying to look at this from the user perspective, it's kind of silly
that if what I want is COMPAT5 I also need to add COMPAT<somethingelse>.
I don't know the issues in the code so I don't know what the solution
should be on the back end, but on the front end what needs to work is
that I specify the compat level I want in my kernel config, then the
code does what's necessary to make that work.
