No it doesn't.
Do a
git grep '".*Linux version .*"'
on the kernel, and see just how CRAP that "get_kernel_version" test is,
and has always been.
But let's hope that CIFS is never compiled into a SLES kernel. Because
this isn't worth fixing at that point, and the SLES people should just fix
their piece of crap initrd script.
And next time somebody says "random vmlinux binary" to me, I'll blacklist
their email address. You shouldn't do initrd for "random binaries". Just
pass the release name somewhere (maybe in the name of the binary, for
example, and if the name doesn't have a version in it, tough titties).

I am afraid to report that this second version also fails for me, as you
point out CIFS can break us if defined. In fact we used to get away
with this on my test system due to ordering magic luck, I presume the
move to __initdata has triggered this. Much as I agree that this is
wrong we are still going to break people with this.
Before:
Module list: sym53c8xx reiserfs
Kernel version: 2.6.19-git12-autokern1 (powerpc)
Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-autobench
Initrd image: /boot/initrd-autobench.img.new
Shared libs: lib/ld-2.3.3.so lib/libc.so.6 lib/libselinux.so.1
Cannot determine dependencies of module sym53c8xx. Is modules.dep up to
date?

After:
Module list: sym53c8xx reiserfs
Kernel version: (powerpc)
Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-autobench
Initrd image: /boot/initrd-autobench.img.new
No modules found for kernel
