This message means that if you load your module it is guaranteed to cause a crash because it is the wrong version. It would be best if you could license your source code under the GPL and publish a set of small discreet patches to the stock kernel to this list. That way it would be included and maintained across API revisions for you by the community.

Please help us address this issue. So you want to get around a mechanism that is preventing your driver from causing an Oops because of different data structures, different kernel APIs, etc., between those version? or any versions? This is just asking for trouble.
