The kernel does not use CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL=y, which prevents modules that don't use MODULE_VERSION() tags from getting a srcversion field in their modinfo. DKMS uses the srcversion field to determine if a module is exactly the same or not. It would benefit from having srcversion enabled for all modules. Ubuntu and openSUSE enable this option.
Thanks, Matt

Just reminding folks of this request.

Doesn't look like it'll cause us any problems, so... Following the 'its easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission' paradigm, I just flipped it on in rawhide, so next build spit out of koji will have it, barring someone beating me with a cluebat and turning it back off... :)
