yes, the idea is that all kernel-reqs module compile against `the latest 
lunar-installed kernel, even if not booted`. That comes down to compiling 
against /usr/src/linux in all cases.

these need to be fixed module per module if there are still broken ones out 
there. I have fixed a few, but don't use all of them of course. So please report.
