However a strict versioning like Linux may be too strong.
Maybe we could put some "module api version" in the kernel, and increment it whenever a kernel release breaks this API ?

Sounds like a good idea.

The other solution would be to break the compatibility and do nothing special. If someone has the bad idea of mixing modules from different kernels, the system will crash. No mercy for suicidal people.

No, I don't like this. If the XDD/XFS-interfaces changes, there must be some sort of version control. How would the (perhaps inexperienced) user know what's wrong if the system just crashes?
