It's not complicated at all -- you need a kernel, the format of which
doesn't vary between distributions, and perhaps a System.map file,
which also doesn't vary between distributions. Just be sure that the
contents of /lib/modules don't get overwritten by two distributions
installing the same version of the kernel; that's a bit unlikely
though.
