Well, the patch to pmap_check.c went into git at the time (date seems to 
be May 13, as it happens),
	http://neil.brown.name/git/portmap ,
but not into a new release -- looks like your patch was straight after the 
6.0 release, and there hasn't been a 6.1.

However the Makefile change isn't there, but it is only to help out of 
tree builds, which frankly don't get much attention on most projects (the 
amount of time I've spent on enabling this on various components is 
ridiculous).  To be honest, no I haven't tried pushing upstream -- and the 
associated build command may suggest why I didn't bother!


P.S.  Anybody here know how to build out of tree kernel modules so that 
the built files are in their own "out of tree" directory?  Two quite 
different uses of the term "out of tree" here, and necessarily four 
separate directories: 1. kernel sources; 2. kernel build directory; 3. 
module sources; 4. module build directory.  Unfortunately I haven't found 
any way to avoid (3)==(4).
