 Âmodule: show version information for built-in modules in sysfs
 ÂCurrently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions
 Âshown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might
 Âalso be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important
 Âfor drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if
 Âbuilt-in, are completely invisible from userspace.
 ÂThis patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are
 Âcompiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate
 Âsection. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute
 Âin the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.
