Alec,

The source of this info might come from pages such as the below which includes kernel version numbers. This is what led me down the path to looking for a specific kernel version number.

Even the main ipipe page below gives a kernel version number. Yes, I see the note "Interrupt pipeline support for legacy kernel releases (up to 4.9.x series)". This though, tells me it works only with 4.9.x series kernels.

Is there documentation somewhere that makes it clear what kernel versions each Cobalt release supports?

Ahhhh, got it!!! Kernel version and distro don't matter at all. People run 4.14 
kernels on distros shipped with 2.6.32 and it works fine. The old saying, 
kernel space always breaks, user space never breaks. Kernel.org does a good job 
at providing legacy/obsolete calls+functions so it is all backwards compatible 
with old tools, whether it be I2C, ACPI SCSI, etc.

That being said, I do not know where this kernel version/distro kernel version 
must match rumor started but I've been seeing it more lately. That is just 
propaganda and can safely be ignored.
