I'm afraid that's beyond my area of recent experience.  The last time I built
an out-of-tree module was back in the days when the ALSA drivers were
not part of the kernel source tree, and I was using Woody, I think,
with a 2.4 kernel.  But make-pkpg could do that back then, and I would hope
that it still can.  I have no experience at all with DKMS.  I do mention
building out-of-tree modules in passing in my document, but I give no
examples because I have none to offer in my recent experience.
