That is only somewhat useful when there is a problem in the ABI
so we want to force the userspace bits to require a module that
has a compatible ABI.

However, that's a very weak dependency because it only forces
the RPM package containing the module to be installed. But not
necessarily running or loaded.

I don't think Fedora needs that for now and it would just create
something that other people could start using.
