So let's look at the big picture: you're asking for us to support an
external module. All I can point you to is
Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst
There it is explained at length what would it cost if we did that. And
that same document above also has some ideas what to do.
Also, there's CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS so on such kernels your module
won't build either.
So no, what you're asking doesn't work.
HTH.
