Public bug reported:
The DPDK build system uses the RTE_KERNELDIR make variable to determine
which kernel version to build for. DKMS provides the kernel version to
build for in the $kernelver and $kernel_source_dir variables. Because
you use a custom MAKE command, this must be used in the MAKE variable of
dkms.conf to generate the correct RTE_KERNELDIR for the build, by doing
something like this:

Because this is not done, whenever the kernel package is upgraded and
DKMS triggers a rebuild, it will trigger a rebuild for the *running*
kernel which gets installed into the *newly installed* kernel directory,
which is wrong and causes the module to fail to load when the newly
installed kernel is booted.
