Re: [PATCH v8 2/3] modpost: Produce extended MODVERSIONS information

From: Matthew Maurer <hidden>

The question is, if only extended moversions are used, what new tooling
requirements are there? Can you test using only extended modversions?

I'm not sure precisely what you're asking for. Do you want:
1. A kconfig that suppresses the emission of today's MODVERSIONS
format? This would be fairly easy to do, but I was leaving it enabled
for compatibility's sake, at least until extended modversions become
more common. This way existing `kmod` tools and kernels would continue
to be able to load new-style modules.
2. libkmod support for parsing the new format? I can do that fairly
easily too, but wanted the format actually decided on and accepted
before I started modifying things that read modversions.
3. Something else? Maybe I'm not understanding your comment?
