How to manage build process under autotools for kernel module

Hi.

I administrate an open source project (http://openxdas.sf.net). This is
an auditing system based on an Open Group standard called XDAS.
OpenXDAS provides a user-space daemon and audit instrumentation
library. I'd like to provide a kernel-space instrumentation library
also, so that kernel modules can be instrumented for audit using this
same API.

I've written kernel modules for NetWare for years, so I'm not
intimidated by the thought of writing code for the Linux kernel, and I
believe I understand the basics of how to write such a module.

My problem is packaging - I've never written a kernel module as an open
source project, and so I just don't know what's being done out there to
distribute such code. The user space portion of my project is based on
autotools, but as for the kernel module portion - well, I'm open to
suggestion ...

Can anyone refer me to some existing open source projects that do this,
so that I can see how they set up their build system, and how they
distribute their components?

Thanks in advance,
