Kernel build (kbuild) 2.5 is designed to make it easy to compile add on code. The user still needs the kernel source and the .config used to build their kernel, plus their existing kernel objects. The add on source can be stored anywhere and will be compiled as if it were part of the kernel source tree. kbuild 2.5 gives full support for add on code, including make *config, Makefile, kernel/module build, modules install, dependencies, the lot. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild for the patch, read Documentation/kbuild/kbuild-2.5.txt, in particular Shadow Trees.
