I'm not sure precisely what you're asking for. Do you want:
1. A kconfig that suppresses the emission of today's MODVERSIONS
format? This would be fairly easy to do, but I was leaving it enabled
for compatibility's sake, at least until extended modversions become
more common. This way existing `kmod` tools and kernels would continue
to be able to load new-style modules.
2. libkmod support for parsing the new format? I can do that fairly
easily too, but wanted the format actually decided on and accepted
before I started modifying things that read modversions.
3. Something else? Maybe I'm not understanding your comment?
