     This constant is set to 1 if your kernel supports the three extended
     fields "totalhigh", "freehigh" and "mem_unit" ; and to 0 otherwise.
 
+BINARY COMPATIBILITY
+    If you upgrade your kernel to a greater version than 2.3.23 on i386 or
+    2.3.48 on any other platform, you will need to rebuild the module to
+    access the extended fields.
+
+    Moreover, since the perl hash function has changed after the 5.6
+    version, you will also need to recompile the module if you upgrade your
+    perl from a version earlier than 5.6.
