Ok, that's different, so if you know a specific kernel module works for a specific thing, then just look in the git tree for when that module/driver was added to the tree. No need to build all kernels to find that out. For example, to see where the nvme_tcp module was added, you can do: $ git log --oneline drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c | tail -n 1 3f2304f8c6d6 nvme-tcp: add NVMe over TCP host driver $ git describe --contains 3f2304f8c6d6 v5.0-rc1~52^2~57^2~20 So that showed up in the 5.0 kernel release.
