/* WARNING userspace tools like batctl were relying on
 * /sys/module/batman_adv/version to check if the module was loaded. If it
 * isn't present, they usually error out before finishing setup of the batadv
 * interface. It should be kept until it is unlikely that there are active
 * installations of these "broken" versions of these tools with recent kernels.

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `generated/utsrelease.h`, `linux/module.h`.
• Atlas domain: Networking Core / Sockets, Protocols, Packet Path, And Network Policy.
• Implementation status: source implementation candidate.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
