dkms.conf misses a variable to easily set a minimal supported kernel version. On older kernels this should simply skip the build like if any of the BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_* settings matches.

(It is possible to set such a minimal version via BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL with a not-so-nice regular expression.)

What about using the variable names BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL_MIN and BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL_MAX for that?

${´BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL_MIN} <= ${KVER} && ${KVER} <= ${BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL_MAX}.999
