You cannot compile your module this way. You need to add the kernel include
path, tell gcc to *not* include the standard c lib and some other stuff. You
can
- put your module in the kernel source tree and add your file to the "Makefile"
and maybe "Kconfig"
- or try do do what Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt says
