Public bug reported:

When building against a custom kernel using a separate build output
directory, the source directory (/lib/modules/<version>/source) should
be passed to the nvidia makefile as SYSSRC and the build output
directory (/lib/modules/<version>/build) as SYSOUT.

Currently dkms passes the build output directory as SYSSRC - which will
only work if the build was done inside the source directory, for obvious
reasons.

I don't know if this is a dkms bug (ie: dkms cannot express the two
directories) or an nvidia packaging bug.
