Public bug reported:
The following patch may break user-space, providing an actual ABI
change:
UBUNTU: SAUCE: modpost: support arbitrary symbol length in modversion
This is not critical for new releases (also considering that the
potential breakage is unlikely to happen, unless some tools/scripts/apps
are inspecting modules' internals - likely only kmod tools, that are ok
with this change), but for LTS releases it is just safer to prevent
adding this change.
Keep in mind that this patch is required to enable Rust support in the
generic kernel, but it is not required for hwe kernels, because we do
not enable Rust support for them.
