IMHO, any kernel module should be able to accept the path to the version of
the kernel tree that it shall be compiled for. This is also important if I
have several versions of the kernel, or if I want to compile for a kernel
version that I don't have installed (in binary) on this system.
I agree, and I do accept the path to a version of the kernel tree it
shall be compiled for. It requires editing the Makefile, though, and
this is not pleasant for naive users. Even if you make it a nice shell
script, merely asking this question and demanding the user to answer is
scary.
This path can be /usr/src/linux by default. Kernel modules should probably
not include /usr/include/{asm,linux} at all.
I can live with this. But /usr/src/linux needs to be a valid default
that works for naive users.
