 That's one of the problems of having external kmods.
 drm-current-kmod have the option by default to install it's sources
in /usr/local/sys/ and when doing a make buildkernel those sources are
getting built too.
 One problem is that when, like with the latest update to linuxkpi that
I did, we introduce changes that breaks external kmods, you first need
to upgrade your ports/package (not your ports tree) so the new sources
are updated too and then do a make buildkernel.
 That really sucks but still helps a bit when there isn't conflicted
changes in the source tree but you still need to rebuild your kernel
module.
