While writing DKMS support for the SCST and iSCST-SCST kernel modules, I ran
into a (common) problem with regard to out-of-tree build detection. A common
method to detect out-of-tree building is by using the KERNELRELEASE variable.
The usage of this variable poses a problem when using DKMS. DKMS itself uses
the KERNELRELEASE variable to specify the kernel for which the driver to
build. A suggested alternative would to use the PATCHLEVEL variable as part
of the detection mechanism instead. I attached a patch reflecting this
suggested change.
