No, generally whenever you write a module with the existing exported functions, there is no necessity to recompile the kernel. But if you need some other kernel function which is not exported, then you will have to think whether there is some alternate function exported. If not then I think you will have to export that function from the kernel. Kindly address to kernelnewbies email id also so that we can have more ideas from other people too.
