Hi Wayne,<br>
<br>
In a short answer, no.<br>
<br>
For the long answer, this config option was removed from the kernel
back around July 2012 when it was discovered that it didn't really
do anything anyway. The commit URL for this is:<br>

It hasn't been used for a long time, and only really seems to exist
in the EL6 kernels as a legacy item. As such, newer kernels don't
have this option - nor is it required in EL6. The error message
shown on boot is purely cosmetic and does not affect the operating
system in any way.<br>
