Re-reading because I missed this. We actually do include unique identifiers in our released kernel headers, Under include/generated/utsrelease.h we have something like the following: #define UTS_RELEASE "3.13.0-39-generic" #define UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI 39 This could also be used if a distro-specific solution if needed.
