If you wait a little, I'll release a linux-headers package which will
make building packages easier. It works now, but I have a couple of
enhancements in mind I would like to do before first release. It will
install a /lib/modules/2.6.21/build directory with everything you need
to build a driver.

Also since kernel-diablo-modules package (which is included in
scratchbox environment by default because it's a dependency of
maemo-core-runtime) will install a /lib/modules/current link which will
point to current /lib/modules/`uname -r`, so you basically can do just
'make -C /lib/modules/current/build ...' and this will build your
driver both for diablo and future kernel versions (I hope). I'm not yet
sure about chinook, but it could work this way as well.
