Here's an initial rough hack at removing modversions. It gives an idea
of the complexity we're carrying for this feature (keeping in mind most
of the lines removed are generated parser).

Note I removed the `rm -r scripts/genksyms` hunks to reduce mail size.

In its place I just added a simple config option to override vermagic
so distros can manage it entirely themselves.

Thanks,
Nick
