With modutils >= 2.4.5.
# modinfo loop filename: /lib/modules/2.4.10-pre8-xfs/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o description: <none> author: <none> parm: max_loop int, description "Maximum number of loop devices (1-255)"
# strings -a /lib/modules/2.4.10-pre8-xfs/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o | grep kernel_version= kernel_version=2.4.10-pre8-xfs
