This actually shows one weakness of our approach: if you want to produce a special kernel module for a particular systemimager version, you'll need to somehow produce the patched kernel source tree and build your module against it. Having something like a systemimager-kernel-devel package would be helpful in such cases. Not sure whether a patched and configured kernel tree is just made with some simple "make" target...
