Installing KMPs separately from the kernel they are built and using weak-updates for all kernel versions - including the one the module was originally built for. The weak-modules2 script already incorporates logic to create weak updates for only one module version (i.e. the latest one) per kernel version. This way - together with the use of a versioned installation directory using INSTALL_MOD_DIR during module installation it is possible to overcome the one KMP update per kernel version limitation (see discussion in jsc#PED-12049).
