ok, thanks.  After digging a little more, it appears I developed this
recipe on an older OE snapshot that did not have support for the new
location of the asm/arch headers in 2.6.27.  Everything seems to work
now.

Would anyone be offended if I commit the below patch?  There may be
some false positives, but would at least hopefully cut down on people
copying the use of KERNEL_SOURCE for new module recipes.

Thanks,
Cliff
