It can be done, the best example of it being done is the NVidia kernel
module. Although it seems, you want to compile a module inside a kernel
tree. I think it'll be lot complex. I dont have any hands on experience
in this, but i suggest take a look at the Makefiles of other kernel
modules available outside the kernel tree. Sorry cant give you specifics
on how to do it.
PS: Also ALSA-driver package are nothing but kernel modules, you may
want to check thier makefiles as well.
