You need to check
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help file and need to modify
it. Check yourself and modify device drivers category so that you will
get option to compile and keep your code as module/directly in kernel.
then move to the appropriate drirectory say you choose
/usr/src/linux/drivers/misc. Put your code there and modify Makefile
and compile kernel.
I hope i have not missed here anything to add own kernel
module in kernel.

Parag.
