/* Handle it when the process runs under the UNAME26 personality:
*
* - kernels >= 3.x identify as 2.6.40+x
* - kernels >= 4.x identify as 2.6.60+x
*
* UNAME26 is a poorly conceived hack that doesn't let us distinguish
* between 4.x kernels and 5.x/6.x kernels so we conservatively assume
* that 2.6.60+x means 4.x.
*
* Fun fact of the day: it's technically possible to observe the actual
* kernel version for a brief moment because uname() first copies out the
* real release string before overwriting it with the backcompat string.
