Yea, this clearly is just an oversight. I had forgotten that those operations
weren't available in earlier kernel versions.

While it would be possible to make things work on the older kernel, by
always using the vectorized op on old kernels, I'm doubtful it's worth the
increase in test matrix.

Any chance you want to provide a patch?
