+check https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Policies , you don't have to read all of 
+them, but it's nice to look at what kind of policies exist, so that later you 
+can look them up if required.

+well, except to actually build the kmod package, since it requires the dkms 
+package :-)

+
+well, if i was you, comment out the code and see if it actually does enable it 
+by default. i'm definately not an expert, but for mariadb i didn't have to 
+enable it, it worked like that...
+
+since i have not seen any other packages where it effectively does that, i 
+don't think it's required.

+
+well as you already know, %cmake evaluates to cmake with some extra stuff, so 
+if one of these things give you difficulty, either it points to a point that can 
+be improved, or you can just override them for the ones you need. that way, 
+you can still make it work with %cmake.
