Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work:

ALSAKERNELDIR=../sound-2.6/sound ./gitcompile

Yields:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/swarren/shared/git_wa/ktest/alsa-driver-build/include/sound'
cp ../../alsa-kernel/include/*.h .
cp: cannot stat `../../alsa-kernel/include/*.h': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [*.h] Error 1

It looks like this path isn't tested?

Anyway, now that I know that utils/setup-alsa-kernel works, I guess I'll just
use that.
