This is what is called the Kernel-ABI. All modules compiled for
"3.16.0-4-amd64" will be compatible with all kernels providing this.
The kernel team aims to keep this ABI as stable as possible to avoid
the need to recompile all external modules every time a kernel is
updated.
If the kernel changes in an incompatible way, then this string will be
changed, for example to "3.16.0-5-amd64", meaning every out-of-tree
kernel module needs to be recompiled.

This is the real kernel version.
