This is because Linus dropped get_info from proc_dir_entry struct. See details:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8731f14d37825b54ad0c4c309cba2bc8fdf13a86

I'm not sure how to fix that. Whether to use ->read_proc and modify the 
callbacks or drop completely.
