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!
I'm not sure. When the drm modules are rebuilt, only the modules that need it get rebuilt. If you want to try, IIANM cd to the correct directory and make -f Makefile.module (at least that is the principle from the drm modules). I do know that after you recompile your kernel, if you change only the source for one module that is the only one that gets built, as the others have not changed. I would recommend running at least make dep and make modules (in the source root, i.e /usr/src/linux). It may not take as long as you think. This would actually skip building the kernel, i.e. make bzImage.
