Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Having CONFIG_MODVERSIONS enabled means that modules compiled for a
different kernel can potentially be loaded. We don't really want that.
In addition, all the master kernels since Zesty have it turned off, plus
all their derivatives as well, expect for the few that are listed as
affected in this bug report.
[Test Case]
$ grep CONFIG_MODVERSIONS /boot/config-$(uname -r):
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
[Regression Potential]
Low. This only prevents loading of modules compiled for a different
kernel.
