Title:
Add new feature BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_CONFIG to jammy as well
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in dkms source package in Jammy:
New
Status in dkms source package in Kinetic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[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:

This fails because CONFIG_I2C=n for a KVM kernel derivative.
Even though evdi has this build rule: BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_CONFIG="CONFIG_I2C
CONFIG_DRM"
After the fix, it will not build:
Building initial module for 5.15.0-1029-kvm
Error! The /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.12.0+dfsg/5.15.0-1029-kvm/x86_64/dkms.conf

module evdi includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which does not match this
kernel/arch/config.
This indicates that it should not be built.
Skipped.
Regression potential:
Very low, this is just a simple feature to prevent building a module.
