This isn't really an answer to your question, just an alternative way of
doing this:

Have you thought about packaging the kernel module to use dkms? This
will build the module against the current kernel automatically. It only
does it as necessary. pptpclient <http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/>
for Linux uses dkms and it works nicely.

I haven't experienced the situation where the module doesn't build with
dkms yet.
