Best way to learn is by finding one already out in the wild and modifying it

I'm chipping away at this... Got an rpm to build, but it fails to
install with:
# rpm -Uvh kmod-myri10ge-1.4.1-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
ksym(mtrr_del) = 272d394e is needed by
kmod-myri10ge-1.4.1-1.x86_64
ksym(mtrr_add) = 56179c5f is needed by
kmod-myri10ge-1.4.1-1.x86_64
Rpm's '--what-provides' doesn't provide a clue here: any ideas what's
missing?
Also, I'm trying to understand exactly what the kmod packaging
provides. I've read Jon Masters presentation here:
<http://people.redhat.com/jcm/talks/jcm_rhsummit_07.pdf>, but still
not clear on just how far a kernel module packaged this way will go.
I assume kernel upgrades that don't change the ABI symbol dependencies
won't require a new kernel module rpm, but how can I know before
upgrading a kernel when it will require a new module rpm as well?
thanks,
Ed
