With modutils >= 2.4.5.
# modinfo loop
filename: /lib/modules/2.4.10-pre8-xfs/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o
description: <none>
author: <none>
parm: max_loop int, description "Maximum number of loop devices (1-255)"
# strings -a /lib/modules/2.4.10-pre8-xfs/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o | grep kernel_version=
kernel_version=2.4.10-pre8-xfs
