--- Comment #6 from dodji at redhat dot com ---
The dodji/kabidiff branch has been merged into master, thus closing this
tracking bug.

As a result, master now has a new kmidiff tool that compares the "Kernel/Module
Interface" of two Linux kernel tree build.  A Linux Kernel Tree build is the
result of cloning *and* compiling a Linux kernel source tree.

During the comparison the tool considers the union of the vmlinux binary and
all the kernel module as being just one Kernel.  And it's that Kernel that is
compared to it's peer Kernel from the second tree.

What remains to be done now is to make abipkgdiff detect Linux kernel packages
specifically and perform similar comparisons on them.  But this is going to be
tracked by a specific bug.
