The pvfs2-client and kernel module are co-dependent.

I think the Makefile already does that, no?  You can't do make kmod  
with configuring the kernel first.  The client admin applications  
(pvfs2-ls, pvfs2-touch, etc.) don't require either the kernel module  
or the pvfs2-client daemon, and as such don't require the kernel  
headers.
