See some ebuilds like x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-430.14.ebuild
if use kernel_linux && kernel_is ge 5 2; then
ewarn "Gentoo supports kernels which are supported by NVIDIA"
ewarn "which are limited to the following kernels:"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.2"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-5.2"
ewarn ""
ewarn "You are free to utilize epatch_user to provide whatever"
ewarn "support you feel is appropriate, but will not receive"
ewarn "support as a result of those changes."
ewarn ""
ewarn "Do not file a bug report about this."
ewarn ""
fi
You could die there :)
