Thank you for looking at this.

I do think it is valuable for a user to see the parameters the module
was compiled with when running "modinfo". I thus would like the
MODULE_VERSION to stay. Including the kernel version number at runtime
seems fine. The version number display may be a bit strange when a user
did not compile with any of the options since the version number will
then end with "-".
