After a 'make World' there will be a Makefile.linux file in
os-support/linux/drm/kernel/.  However, the workaround that used
to be present to allow a 'make -f Makefile.linux' build to work has
been removed, but I'll either add it back in a slightly modified form,
or change the build location to avoid the need for it.

What does work right now is running 'make install' from
os-support/linux/drm/kernel/, and building the modules in the resulting
$(DESTDIR)ProjectRoot/src/drm/linux/kernel/.

I have noticed that the drm modules no longer build on older 2.4.x kernels.
Does anyone know what the minimum requirements are so that at a minimum
the relevant Makefile can be updated to report this?
