It's not really "touching" the kernel tree. U copy the cifs dir under the
kernel fs dir, where all the other file system code is and patch the config
files so it knows CIFS is there. Then u tell it to include that new dir in
make menuconfig. CIFS shows up there and u put an M to tell it to make a
module. That's it, there's no alteration of any existing kernel code. The
CIFS code needs to be in the kernel tree to satisfy the #includes. Now if I do
a plain make rather than make modules it successfully compiles a kernel. Since
it works with the raw kernel source, there has to be something changed by Red
Hat to make it not work. If u have a RHEL3 box try it for urself. Maybe I'm
being clueless about something.

you put your makefile and code in their own dir and if you do that right
(where "you" is the module author) then it "just works", no need for any
of that stuff to touch the actual tree

the instructions there aren't good for rhel3 really
