Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

This way it is a lot easier of the maintainer of the debian package [as far
as I understand this...]

When a monolithic kernel is build, the two header file are moved to 
include/linux/ . 
Also in that case it is possible to build the userspace tools without
the out-of-kernel-free module sources, since the include files are in
~linux/include/linux .

What is the intention of this chunk ?

I am currently working on L26 (vanilla) and building DRBD as module, 
therefore I need this prototype.

But whith this preprocessor statements I will not get it....

Could it be that you ment 

# ifdef MODULE
   ^^
   
?
