It's ok for me to revert, but if it's reverted should consider the warning only patch version instead. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc.git/commit/?h=spec/retpoline-module-2&id=b40b7c1dbffaa636906b774ef5519882060e1aa0 I had posted that earlier, but reviewers in the end preferred the simple modversions variant. I think we should have something at least for 4.15 to catch mistakes. -Andi
