Okay, I just did a quick test on one of my kmod-forcedeth systems.
After installing the testing kernel my weak-updates links for this
driver do not exist:
# rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.10.0-514.21.2.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-514.26.1.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64
# pwd
/lib/modules
# find . -name forcedeth.ko -ls
612005 108 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109760 Jun 16 2016 ./3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/extra/forcedeth/forcedeth.ko

I did not reboot the node, since clearly my forcedeth driver is not
there for this new kernel; removing this new kernel for now ..
cheers, etc.
