What about 4.1+ ?

Should we do a version-check at configure time, or is there such a check
already done by the package itself?

Are you sure CC is needed? The kernel buildsystem should already set it, no?

I really do not like that a package meddles in the affairs of another
package, like setting hooks for it.

I'd rather we add a variable that packages could set to require specific
kernel config options, something like:

    IQVLINUX_LINUX_NEEDS_CONFIG_OPTS = CONFIG_PCI

Then in package/pkg-generic, in the inner-generic-package macro:

    LINUX_NEEDS_CONFIG_OPTS += $$($(2)_NEEDS_LINUX_CONFIG)

And finally in linux/linux.mk:

    define LINUX_CHECK_CONFIG_OPTS
        $(foreach cfg,$(strip $(LINUX_NEEDS_CONFIG_OPTS)),\
            if ! grep -E '^$(cfg)=y$$' $(@D)/.config >/dev/null; then \
                printf "ERROR: Enable %s in your linux kernel config." "$(cfg)"; \
                exit 1; \
            fi;)
    endef
    LINUX_POST_CONFIGURE_HOOKS += LINUX_CHECK_CONFIG_OPTS
