Maybe run depmod -a, then lsmod to make sure it is not in memory, then modprobe visor, you may be working. Hope so. :-)
Do I have to compile the whole kernel just for this module, or is it possible to compile only the visor module? My experience of compiling so far is ./configure, make and checkinstall (with some tweaking of config). It looks to me like the kernel would take quite a while to compile, which seems wasted effort for one module!
