Yes, see attachment (and also the part about the "make install" problem
in it which I was having with your suggested patch, and the question
about the installation subdir).

I don't see it in the sf.net archives either.

Hard to tell. Attached is another one from Sep 20 which doesn't seem to
be in the archives either. I suppose that's about it.

No idea, it's been over 2 years since I've had any personal interest
towards 2.4 kernels... and if you want my opinion, given the currently
available resources, it wouldn't seem like a bad call to leave pre-2.6.x
kernels behind in the dxr3 project as of 0.16.0.
BTW I remember hearing that #include <linux/autoconf.h> shouldn't be
necessary in 2.6, #include <linux/config.h> could be just dropped
without a replacement and the module build stuff should include the
necessary stuff automatically. I suppose that won't help much if at all
with the 2.4 problem above though.

Looks better to me, however my "make install" failed to install anything
with this Makefile with 2.6.17.x and 2.6.18-rcx. I like to install into
$(DESTDIR)/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/extra/em8300; previously that
was done just by passing MODINST=extra/em8300. How would that be done
with the new Makefile?

The FC6testX kernel package changelog doesn't tell nor does the patch
have any documentation, but the contents of config.h do contain a hint:

Maybe take the same approach as with the firmware dir? Default to
$(datadir)/alsa/cards; that's what upstream ALSA itself defaults to.
