What do you mean 'reenter the whole kernel build'? Are you under the
impression that the kmod tree is somehow actually building in the
kernel build directory?

As I said in an earlier email, it doesn't do that. It is just using
the kernel header files, like any other third party module. Normally
you could find them under /lib/modules/foo/build, but obviously that
doesn't apply here.
