Hi Shen!

My understanding of the commit message and above all of [1] is that the
CI was disabled for C8S and IMO that should be mentioned in the
installation instruction since there is no more guarantee that wireguard
module will install successfully on recent C8S kernel (and that's the
case with 4.18.0-394).

Yes exact.

This is the kind of thing that I believe should be visible on the
installation instructions, it will save a lot of time to everyone...
