The kernel driver (dkms) fails to build due to the bad logic in drivers/Makefile trying to detect the non-existent modversions.h (Ubuntu kernels do not use CONFIG_MODVERSIONS ) and thus not adding -I$(KERNEL_DIR)/include to the search path - so cannot find linux/init.h

Even with that fixed there is no asm/linkage.h since $(KERNEL_DIR)/build/arch/x86/include is not in the search path.
