I'm sorry if I'm mistaken, or if this comes across as awfully rude but didn't you ask the same question back in March? Did you have a look at the replies from then to see if that could help with this issue? Also you can search within the kernel by entering '/' a search field will come up, and if you know part of the name (past thread of same title should reveal that), you should be able to locate it.
