I am actually surprised that the 8.0 upgrade fails...  The _original_
8.0 kernel had sys_call_table removed, so the 8.0 RPMs already had a
workaround.  Did you actually try recompiling for 8.0?  Or are you
just guessing that it actually fails?

Well, we have a workaround (in the 8.0 RPMS), but we've had one report
of that workaround not working properly....
