Probably, although it is in SuSE kernels.

It has been done, a long time ago. I think the major problem is that
there are interfaces that the skas module would need to call that
aren't exported to modules.
This being the case, there would need to be a patch to the kernel to
export those interfaces as well as the actual module.
