In fairness, this is why I have been using it, faithfully following
documentation. Probably indeed best to remove it.
To the OP, if you build the module against the running kernel ("Building
DRBD for the currently-running kernel") that should set up the necessary
changes in config for the source to match properly with your kernel
version. You can then skip installing the module and make a kernel patch
with the make KDIR=/blah/linux kernel-patch and it will likely work
properly.
Failing that, you will have to use drbd driver as a module, rather than
compiled in directly.
