Hi again,

Thanks for the tips, Chris, and sorry for the long silence.

Hmmm...  As far as I get it, none of those links tackle the issue of building an
_external_ kernel module.  The modules mentioned in the links are all part of
the linux-libre kernel.

Currently it seems that we have no way to build an external module.  It's quite problematic.

I've sent a patch: 34758@debbugs.gnu.org.

It needs the following:

- Fix vhba-module 'build phase.
- Optional: make a udev-related service to simplify the setup.  The service
  won't work if the module is not included in the kernel.

I'll continue the discussion there.
