* New patch 60_linux_version_init, fixes linux version detection. This
relied on a side-effect of the elf loader and previously hoped that
constructors would be called in a certain order. That behavior was
undefined and hence unreliable. For newer kernels, an elf note is now
checked to extract HZ tick count. (LP: #364656).
