Do the dkms triggers actually run concurrently?
I never experienced this.

On the contrary, running two builds of zfs for two different kernel
versions seem to break the build process.

I also have 4 kernels versions installed. I'd like to avoid zfs/spl
having some dkms build-exclusive rules like aufs does, since I cannot
easily test the module on kernel from experimental. I'd rather have the
build fail because the build truly failed.

Waiting in configure looks ridiculous to me. The headers might simply
not be there. The build of spl could have failed. There are not cases to
wait for.
