I'm happy with this change. DRBD is one of those things where API
stability doesn't seem to be a very high priority. So,  we need a
mechanism to keep user and kernel space in sync, without causing
everyone else a lot of grief by imposing ABI breakage on people who
couldn't care less about DRBD. DKMS is the current voodoo to make this
happen, so let's go for it.
