Note that it is very dangerous to compile kernel modules like so:

This is missing the -mfixed-range=f12-f15,f32-f127 option, which means
that more complicated modules will end up trashing floating-point
registers which means that your module will cause random crashes in
user-level codes. I'd recommend to compile modules the same way as normal
kernel code, except that you need to remove the -mconstant-gp flag.
In 2.6, this has gotten a lot easier, since modules are built using
the normal kbuild infrastructure.
