IBM has been a big part of the feature request process for SLE12.  That doesn't mean that all groups within IBM are aware of what's happening, however.  It would probably be a good idea for you to open up a service request, either with IBM or SUSE, to get the conversation started, just to make sure.  And, while you're at it, let IBM know that checking for specific kernel versions is a _really_ bad idea.  :)
