Oops, I forgot to add attributions for the spec files. Here's what I
added to the RHEL5 version:
# Based on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules by

and the RHEL6 version:
# Based on example RPM spec from "Red Hat Driver Update Packages
# Official Reference Guide" by John Masters <[email protected]>, version
# 0.99, dated 2011-01-06. Following copyright and license apply to

The example didn't have a license attached to it, but it's clearly
intended for people to use and adapt.
