I rather doubt it, but I really don't know the bureaucracy of that. Just to clarify: Old code logs the value of *msg_prio; that value is always ignored by syscall (it may store something there, but that's it - pure output parameter) New code does not change the format of log message; the value in that field of the message is replaced with 0. That's the only difference.
Whether that requires amending of the existing certs... bugger if I know.
