Okay. What happens if the kernel maintainers don't want a module in the
kernel for some reason (we're seeing one here with the kqemu module)? You
have to compile from source? There is a plan for that, right?
You can't just assume the kernel developers don't want a module that the
developer's have tried to submit as patches publicly in LKML. If the
module has no future in the kernel, I don't see how we are going to take
on the burden of maintaining it continuously forever. DKMS is a short
term hack that will only work when the interface doesn't change and with
the 2.6 kernel the amount of changes here are more often.
