It is also possible to compile to versions of the modules: a 2.0 module
and a 2.1 module. You can then place those modules in /lib/modules/2.0 or
/lib/modules/2.1 and nobody will ever know you use two a different module
depending on the kernel version... This makes compiling your source more
difficult (replacing kernel headers for example), but makes the choice
transparent to users.
