I remember me having worked on that but I cannot find any patch about it so your patch is more that welcome. Some users have requested it some months ago.
As far as I can remember, with "M=" you can not use $srctree only but still need it for the -I for instance. I think I then run into a situation where I have an ambiguity about how to setup the flags for coccinelle, but I am sure about the reason I dropped my patch. Maybe I don't know well enough the build system and options...
So, don't hesitate to submit your patch. Does it also update the Documentation/coccinelle.txt accordingly ?
