Nooooo!!!!!
Don't break stuff by adding headers. There is already a version in the file. It's in decimal, which sucks, but this will find it:
grep ' Version_' System.map
Adding a random 128-bit ID might be nice, as long as it's done in the same sort of way and is available via /proc. Something like this would do: kern_128_id_UkZd1JLdOvAsALfFEL1UI - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
