Does this follow 'best practice' for building out of tree linux kernel
modules? Or at least copy the build practice for other common modules?

I don't think its really a sparse tree, so we should probably change the
name.
Perhaps 'hve-drivers/linux-2.6'?  (I forget what name we settled on for
the generic VT/Pacifica abstraction, I think it was 'hve'.)
