In theory that sounds nice, but in -current the kernel ABI changes too
quickly for that to be effecitve. The general rule in -current is
that the modules must be compiled at the same time as the kernel, or
from the same sources. Anything else might work, but is unsupported.
I don't know of a good way to serialize (eg assign a serial number to)
the sources that would work.
For -stable, long periods of time pass between the ABI changes forcing
a recompile, so it could be keyed off the FreeBSD version somehow.
