DRDB kernel module is being included upstream. There is no need to build the
kmod in fedora, and I really see no issue at all to make userland ready for
inclusion.
Also other packages (as noted) that would require an external kernel module,
are being shipped without it.

While there is absolutely no disagreement that external kmods are bad, there is
also nothing wrong to allow users to have userland there ready for them, if
they wish to build/install their kmod.

I explicitly asked to start the review process earlier because I did expect a
lot of people to jump to the package throat :)
