It can be done, the best example of it being done is the NVidia kernel |
| 8 |
module. Although it seems, you want to compile a module inside a kernel |
| 9 |
tree. I think it'll be lot complex. I dont have any hands on experience |
| 10 |
in this, but i suggest take a look at the Makefiles of other kernel |
| 11 |
modules available outside the kernel tree. Sorry cant give you specifics |
| 12 |
on how to do it. |

PS: Also ALSA-driver package are nothing but kernel modules, you may |
| 15 |
want to check thier makefiles as well. |
