udev.preinst looks like it tries to do so (check_kernel_features), but
it depends on several factors:
- /proc/kallsyms needs to be present for the symbols check. This might
not be enabled on custom kernels.
- udev must be active
There is even a check for CONFIG_FHANDLE:
- open_by_handle_at(2) (CONFIG_FHANDLE)
But I wouldn't trust it too much; after all this check is probably not
the most tested part of the package...
