Would the F17 policy have problems with a 3.2.7 kernel?

I would like to move on towards an F17 system.  I'm stuck, however
with an 3.2.7 kernel because of bugzilla 795141.  (The test kernel
that was provided in the bugzilla works for me, but so far the fix
doesn't seem to have been included in any released kernel package.)
And the standard F17 kernel is 3.3.0.

Most things won't actually depend on the newer kernel in F17, but from
experience I've learned that the selinux-policy is one of the more
sensitive parts.  Are you aware of any reason it will fail with the
slightly older kernel?  Or is there a chance it might work?  At least
reasonably well?

I'm of course not asking for any kind of official support.  Whatever
that would mean for an alpha of Fedora. :-) But before I do the
attempt I wanted to check if you saw any obvious reasons things would
crash completely if I tried the combination.
