Can't you build with just the headers?  I guess that doesn't /really/ solve 
the problem that you're facing though...  Headers being VERY version 
dependent, and versioning themselves with the info from the kernel 
Makefile...

O.K. Darren!  You are on to something here.  If this is combined with loading 
of /signed/ lkms, I think we can get rid of many of the "bad idea" 
objections.
