I don't know of any that would. I vote for the "ignore this change" as it came from upstream, and any external driver would have to handle it anyway.
Ok, let's just whitelist it.
And anyway, I didn't think we were doing ABI stuff for opensuse kernels, is this a change?
The checks have always been there, and in cases where a kabi change would require rebuilding and re-releasing some commonly used KMPs (it's not just nvidia & ati, but also some out-of-tree GPL code we distribute) and working around the change is cheap, we usually do it.
