Subject: module: be more picky about allowing missing module versions
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc2~21

module: be more picky about allowing missing module versions

We allow missing __versions sections, because modprobe --force strips
it.  It makes less sense to allow sections where there's no version
for a specific symbol the module uses, so disallow that.
