Public bug reported:

[SRU Justification]

Impact:
Some dkms modules (like evdi-dkms) have this rule BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_CONFIG which 
prevent it from building if a specific configuration is enabled/disabled.
This feature was released for kinetic but not for jammy.
This backports the patch to jammy as well.

Fix:
Backported BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_CONFIG.patch from kinetic.
In order to be applied, I had to slightly modify the first junk. Other than 
that, it was a clean backport.
Testcase:
I used evdi as dkms module with this feature. Before the fix, it will fail with 
this error:
TODO

After the fix, it will not build:
TODO

Regression potential:
Very low, this is just a simple feature to prevent building a module.
