Not really I'm thinking more of someone building a module against one core and insmodding it against another one.. so someone builds a kernel with core/personality, then builds just a personality module from CVS and tries to use it with the kernel core one... personally I think binary distributors have the money to keep up with the kernel releases.... I don't want to re-implement kernel modversions which is what we are close to doing, you can't insmod a module built against a different kernel anyways so it doesn't matter, kernel version, preempt, smp, compiler are all checked on insmod in 2.6 if they don't match it doesn't load it is not possible to distrib a binarry kernel independent module.. without at least a portable stub source loader...
