"X Through Y" means starting with version X, all versions until (and including) Y. "Through Y" (with no X) means all versions until (and including) Y. "Before Y" means all versions until (but not including) Y. Of course these are all tempered with an implicit "from the version where this code first appeared".

There is a little difference between them:
- "through" means "until and including"
- "before" means "until" without including
For example,
- through 4.10.15: versions before 4.10.15 and version 4.10.15
- before 4.10.15: versions before 4.10.15
The meaning of "before" is usually in terms of numerical order. However, it is advisable to read the Linux kernel versioning
