Found the problem, I was stupidly reading the report incorrectly.  The problem
regarding _lcore_id is a source compatibilty issue (because the symbol moved to
a new location), which is irrelevant to us.  Its not in any way a binary compat
problem, which is what we care about.  Sorry for the noise.

I do still have a few concerns about some changed calling conventions with a few
other functions, which I'll look into on monday.

Neil
