Guess you have to make it buildable on !linux (if only to return an error) as some users have code for multiple platforms

Proper English would be something like "greater than or equal".
Or, we can use another name, say AtLeast. It will look like
if kernelversion.AtLeast(kernelversion.KernelVersion{4,2})which is still too much occurrences of "kernel" and "version", but otherwise ok.
Or, we can use a variadic function to simplify callers. Something like:
func AtLeast(want ...uint64)So the call can look simpler:
if kernelversion.AtLeast(2, 6, 19) {
...Or does it incur greater runtime overhead?
