I just discussed this with lttng upstream maintainers a little. We're
going to have continual tension between keeping lttng-modules up to
date and new kernel versions.

How about we also have a git version of this particular recipe which
has a DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" but people can opt into with a
PREFERRED_VERSION when using newer kernels?

That should keep people using very recent kernels happy, let us use a
stable release version and avoid us adding/removing large patchsets on
a semi regular basis?

Would you be willing to try/submit such a git recipe?

Cheers,

Richard
