From b4f3c4e352a359c860fedb02dd90465a75a762ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Norris Date: Sun, 5 May 2024 14:04:57 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] linux: log a scary warning when used with an experimental kernel Since the person using the kernel may not be the person who built it, show a warning at module load too, in case they aren't aware that it might be weird.
