btw that is something extremely evil to do. Either you have varying apis between kernels (which is naughty, but I suppose you can go up in capabilities) or it's fully static. If it's dynamic, doing it compiletime is BAD. The same binaries should run on multiple kernels after all. An ioctl or a sysfs thing or something is a lot better than a compile time constant. If it's entirely static exposing a "version" doesn't mean anything and it might as well be killed...
