Hmm. Finding the _spl stuff in the binary was easy; where is
the version-checking? Does it suffice to change the '1.1A' string in
the binary to '1.1B'? I wasn't sure what mechanisim it was using to
test the version.

Nor I. I'm not terribly familiar with the interrupt system (or
most of the rest of the kernel, for that matter), but I doubt it can
do more damage than crashing the system.
