Please do not do this. It causes check to "float" depending on the
version of kernel headers it was compiled against.

The check should be against concrete version (0x10000 in this case).

The idea here is to not prevent it to load if version is 0x10001.
This is actually the only change that it is really needed (after applying
your KEY_RESERVED patch to 2.6.37) for the tool to work. Reverting it causes
the error:

You did not understand. When comparing against EV_VERSION, if you
compile on 2.6.32 you are comparing with 0x10000. If you are compiling
on 2.6.37 you are comparing with 0x10001 as EV_VERSION value changes
(not the value returned by EVIOCGVERSION, the value of the _define_
itself).

The proper check is:

#define EVDEV_MIN_VERSION 0x10000
	if (version < EVDEV_MIN_VERSION) {
		fprintf(stderr,
			"protocol version mismatch (need at least %d, got %d)\n",
			EVDEV_MIN_VERSION, version);
		...
	}
