You don't need to modify the kernel. You can do this entirely in userspace. The HID module talks to the Input subsystem. The input subsystem outputs to a range of output device. You need the event interface (/dev/input/eventX, where X is 0..31). You can just read events out using a standard read() call. I have a tutorial that is close enough to done to help you with this, though by no means complete. I'll try to get it up on a suitable web site soon, and post a link.
