Kernel Symbol Versions ("modversions")

Kernel symbols such as functions and variables have version information
attached. This package contains the symbol versions for the standard
kernels.
Installing this package before compiling kernel modules outside of the
kernel source tree adds symbol version information in these modules.
Modules without symbol version information can only be loaded on
exactly the kernel version for which they were compiled. Modules with
symbol version information can also be loaded into more recent kernels
as long as none of the symbols exported by the kernel changes. (This
provides a reasonable level of confidence but does not guarantee that
the module will still work.)
