Got a warning with -rc3:
WARNING: "fb_register_client" [drivers/video/backlight/backlight.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "fb_unregister_client" [drivers/video/backlight/backlight.ko]
undefined!

Gentoo kernels are 42 times more popular than SUSE kernels among
KLive users (a service by SUSE contractor Andrea Arcangeli that
gathers data about kernels from many users worldwide).
