I don't have any docs that would help and don't know of any on the Ettus site. I've had an idea that might help. I have a more recent build based on the OpenEmbedded rocko branches that use a 4.9 kernel, I am adding the kernel-devsrc package to the image. That should let you build the kernel module on the device. No warranty though. The builder is running now and it is a long job, I'll post a link to the updated images when they are done.
