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

The kernel module uses the Kbuild infrastructure. On centos you will
need the "kernel-devel" package IIRC, the rest is handled by Kbuild. For
kernel module building autotools are not required, so yes, "make" is
enough.

Then you also need drbd-utils (containing things like
drbdadm/drbdsetup). These user-space tools are built via autotools and
the source contains a "configure" script.
