PKGBUILDs that generate kernel modules

This PKGBUILD creates a kernel module which is already in the kernel. Is simply renaming it the correct choice?

Should I use uname to find out the current kernel? I don't think it matters what current kernel it compiles against.

What to do about moddep?  The new modules aren't found unless it's run, and ... ah, I'll put it in the install file, as it will be run by root.

Is it a good idea to have both the libdrm fork and the kernel module in the same package?  I can't see why not.
