My problem is packaging - I've never written a kernel module as an open

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 ...
If you are using 2.6 kernel, it is common that the out-of-tree modules
also use the Kbuild (linux kernel build system). Let's say you have
hello.c and want to compile it against currently running kernel's source
as a module. The only Makefile you needs should then be something similar
to:
obj-m += hello.o
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
issuing 'make' will the use the kernel build system, headers,
configuration, etc. to build and link your hello.c into hello.ko.
