This patch has come to my attention via the opensuse lists, where
a poster reported about this new user-visible message (it appears
in dmesg!) and rightfully asked: upgrade what component?

It's probably the userspace module loading utility, but it _really_
should say so. There's good room to read that message - a few months
into the future - as "upgrade your kernel" instead ;)
