So far so expected. If you don't have the generic pve-headers package
installed you are the one responsible to install pve-headers-$(uname -r)

Can you provide that file (or the interesting part)?

I have not updated my test clusters to 7.0 myself, but I will do in the
next days. My best guess is that the compat code used there does not
support 5.11.22, or - due to added patches - does not generated a
combination/patch that then applies/compiles.

So please provide the make.log, but most likely this will need some
fixes in the compat code on our side.
