What's there is sufficient for personal development purposes.  It
doesn't address how to get your modules included in the upstream
kernel.org kernels, so they can be added to Fedora as well.

There are other mechanisms, such as DKMS (yum install dkms) which also
can be used for building kernel modules.  The Makefile becomes even
simpler, just the single line:

  obj-m := foo.o

and DKMS takes care of the rest.

Thanks,
Matt
