It may be a good idea to submit a pull request at
https://github.com/gentoo/eudev/ to upstream this into eudev as Gentoo
users have also experienced this issue in the past -
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1011456.html. One of the goals of the
eudev fork is obtaining better compatibility with older kernels.

Regards,
Jonathan
