Seems to be the case. Looked at some old commits (2.6.17) and found
FMODE_EXEC was mainlined to allow lustre to be installed on a vanilla
kernel.
Since you pointed it out, if we are dealing with compatability with 
obselete kernels, __FMODE_EXEC was added later in 2.6.38. Wondering
if I should address the case where FMODE_EXEC is defined but 
__FMODE_EXEC isn't since I currently only check __FMODE_EXEC.
