FWIW, we've been building kernels with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS for quite some
time. They do work sometimes, although we've seen lots of these missing symbol
problems. Hm...
My laptop is running a 2.2.15-idepci kernel with pcmcia modules from Brian,
so it is possible.... we've had lots of problems with -compact though that
neither Brian nor I have been able to figure out.
