here's my first patch to the scripts and a few comments:
- kmp_add_requires and kmp_add_buildrequires are similar to other kmp_ 
variable so you can add extra requires and buildrequires.
- in the spec file some trivial fix and change "+-$kvariant" to 
"+$kvariant" since this how the kernel module dir looks like.

is this acceptable for you?
than i'll patch a few kmod to use this new schema.

anyway wouldn't it be useful to create a new packages eg: kmod-devel 
which contains this/one common kmodtool (i prefer common kmodtool over 
all kmod packages contains it's own kmodtool) and the template files.
