Any of 2.x or 3.x line should work. However on older ones we just scan 
/dev to find a device with the same major/minor as the one we've got 
from stat (). It's possible to try to use mtab or /proc/mounts as hint 
while still checking for major/minor match but it's not important. Also 
I don't suppose anyone will use ZFS with older kernels
