The restriction is only needed if RPM packages for these old versions actually exist. On a more general note: While it is extremely nice to have this spec file to ease the building process. Fedora does not allow inclusion of external kernel modules: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#No_External_Kernel_Modules
