This was due to a backported definition of PDE_DATA [1] in kernel
2.6.32-431.

2.8.0.1 [2] or 2.7.0.2 [3] should work for you.

[1] https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/DAHLIN-330
[2] http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux/dahdi-linux-2.8.0.1.tar.gz
[3] http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux/dahdi-linux-2.7.0.2.tar.gz

Cheers,
Shaun
