However a strict versioning like Linux may be too strong.
Maybe we could put some "module api version" in the kernel, and increment
it whenever a kernel release breaks this API ?
Sounds like a good idea.
The other solution would be to break the compatibility and do nothing
special. If someone has the bad idea of mixing modules from different
kernels, the system will crash. No mercy for suicidal people.
No, I don't like this. If the XDD/XFS-interfaces changes, there must be some
sort of version control. How would the (perhaps inexperienced) user know
what's wrong if the system just crashes?
